No position in college football will be more scrutinized this offseason than quarterback with the freedom created by the transfer portal and the NCAA allowing immediate eligibility for those players switching schools.
Unlike other positions, quarterbacks can't easily share time with other players so the pressure is on to exhibit top play early in careers. Days of heralded recruits waiting two or three years to get on the field are gone. They want to play now and won't wait before looking for a new home.
Even starters are seeking greener pastures with their positions on the depth chart challenged and with opportunities arising at higher-profile schools or with coaching systems that more suit their talents.
