East Carolina QB Gardner Minshew transferring to WSU, and eligible to play right away

Washington State, not Alabama, will be the new destination for East Carolina graduate transfer quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Minshew announced his decision to join the Cougars on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon, nearly one month after it was reported that the former ECU starter was planning to join Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. Alabama’s quarterbacks room projects to be the most competitive in the country next season, with 14-game starter Jalen Hurts and national championship game Most Valuable Player Tua Tagovailoa both coming back.

WSU’s quarterbacks room, on the other hand, is tied for the country’s least experienced.
