Former Stanford QB K.J. Costello Transferring to Mississippi State

New Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach might have just gotten his 2020 starting quarterback.

For the second year in a row, the Bulldogs have acquired a transfer QB, getting former Stanford QB K.J. Costello to leave Palo Alto and head to Starkville for his final year of eligibility.

Costello took to Twitter on Monday to announce his decision, writing, "Dreams do become reality. Excited for what is next."

Costello spent four seasons at Stanford, starting seven games as a redshirt freshman before becoming the Cardinal's full-time starter. But Costello dealt with injuries this past season, appearing in only five games.
