Anchor Drop, December 18, 2018: The QB Competition Gets More Interesting

Good morning.

With Kyle Shurmur graduating, Vanderbilt will have an open competition for the starting quarterback job in the spring (and possibly extending into fall camp) — and that competition got even more crowded on Monday. Ball State’s Riley Neal will transfer to Vanderbilt (as confirmed to Steve Wiltfong of 247 Sports) and will be immediately eligible under the graduate transfer rule.

In three-plus years as the starter for the Cardinals, Neal completed 60 percent of his passes and threw for 7393 yards, with 46 touchdowns and 25 interceptions.
