East Carolina QB Gardner Minshew to transfer to Washington State

East Carolina quarterback Gardner Minshew is transferring to Washington State, he announced on Twitter Tuesday night.

As a graduate transfer, he will be eligible immediately.

Minshew had earlier announced that he would transfer to Alabama. A source close to Minshew told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg that announcement was essentially to get attention from other schools and he was never likely to go to Tuscaloosa.

Minshew started five games for the Pirates last season, throwing for 2,140 yards and 16 touchdowns. He withdrew from the school after graduating after the fall semester.
