Former Oklahoma Quarterback Tanner Mordecai Transfers to SMU, Opening Interesting Battle With Stone

Former Oklahoma quarterback Tanner Mordecai announced today he would be transferring to SMU after three seasons in Norman.

Presumably, he will be SMU’s starter for the 2021 season.

The move caps off four days of limbo for SMU at the quarterback spot. Last Friday, two-year starting quarterback Shane Buechele announced he would be foregoing his final year of eligibility to pursue NFL aspirations.

Then, two days ago, Mordecai entered the transfer portal. Along with this, incoming four-star quarterback Preston Stone signed his letter of intent to play at SMU.

Now, Mordecai will be the experienced three-year college player mentoring the true-freshman.
