The 2021-22 transfer portal is already humming with activity.Several high-profile players have entered their name into the portal, using the NCAA's one-time transfer rule to test their newfound mobility or college football as Ole Mi s coach Lane Kiffin described it in search of greener pastures.MORE: Nowhere is that more true than with college football's most impactful position: quarterback.Already, players such as Oklahoma's Spencer Rattler, UCF's Dillon Gabriel and Ohio State's Quinn Ewers have made national headlines for their decision to take their talents elsewhere. That said, those are not the only quarterbacks who stand to make a ma sive impact, not only for the teams they're joining but also for the teams they leave behind.Moreover, there are still several high-profile players who have yet to announce their new allegiances. Those players will be among the most sought-after players in all of college football following the completion of the early signing period and the start of bowl season.With that, Sporting News breaks down the
Will Butcher Women Jersey most impactful quarterbacks in the 2021-22 transfer carousel both those who have committed and those who are still mulling their decisions:MORE: Quinn Ewers (Ohio State to Texas)Ewers' decision to leave Ohio State for Texas was unsurprising, considering the emergence of Buckeyes quarterback C.J. Stroud, who finished fourth in the Heisman balloting in 2021 with 3,862 yards and 38 touchdowns to just five interceptions on the season. That led Ewers who skipped his senior season of high school to enroll at Ohio State to enter the transfer portal.There, the Southlake, Texas native found his way to the Longhorns. Ewers stands to step in immediately and take over a program whose leading pa ser, Casey Thompson, has already entered the transfer portal. His biggest competition for the starting position appears to be either Hudson Card or Maalik Murphy, the No. 11 quarterback in the 2022 cla s.Ewers, the top-ranked recruit in following his recla sification, is easily the biggest recruiting victory for coach Steve Sarkisian, who has worked wonders with such quarterbacks as Carson Palmer,
Ken Daneyko Kids Jersey Matt Leinart, Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones, among others. Time will tell what impact Ewers has in Austin, but it stands to reason he could be the Longhorns' best quarterback in some time.Spencer Rattler (Oklahoma to South Carolina)Rattler, like Ewers, should step in as the immediate go-to guy for his new team. The one-time Heisman hopeful had a setback year in 2021, completing 140 of 187 pa ses for 1,483 yards and 11 touchdowns to five interceptions. His struggles in big games prompted Lincoln Riley to bench him in favor of freshman Caleb Williams, whose rushing ability and big arm made it difficult to keep him on the bench.But there's no denying Rattler's talent. Remember, he pa sed for 3,087 yards and 28 touchdowns to seven interceptions as recently as 2020, a seasonlong performance that prompted pundits to declare him an early favorite for the 2021 Heisman Trophy.Rattler shouldn't have to face a similar quarterback controversy in Columbia, S.C., where the Gamecocks were at one point forced to rely on graduate a sistant Zeb Noland as part of a revolving door at quarterback. The transfer of tight end Austin Stogner (14 catches, 166 yards, three touchdowns) will also help Rattler get acclimated to his new home. That now begs the question: Does South Carolina have the most talented quarterback in the SEC East?Dillon Gabriel (UCF to UCLA)Gabriel's transfer to UCLA could be an early indicator that Dorian Thompson-Robinson will make the jump from college to the NFL for the 2022 NFL Draft. Should that be the case, Gabriel stands to be the quarterback of the future for Chip Kelly.Gabriel was outstanding for the Knights before injuries derailed his 2021 season with just three games under his belt. He has completed 554 of 913 pa ses (60.7 percent) for 8,041 yards and 70 touchdowns to just 14 interceptions. That sort of pa sing ability made Gabriel a hot commodity in the portal, and he stands to
Ryane Clowe Jersey enjoy similar succe s under Kelly in Los Angeles. That said, he must still beat out 2021 backup Ethan Garbers for the starting spot if Thompson-Robinson doesn't stay, that is.Max Johnson (LSU to Texas A&M)Johnson never had eye-popping stats in two seasons' worth of play at LSU, but played well enough in 2021 with 2,814 yards and 27 touchdowns to six interceptions. With Ed Orgeron's replacement by Brian Kelly, however, Johnson elected to take his talents to fellow SEC West program Texas A&M, where Johnson should be among the favorites to win the job with Zach Calzada entering the transfer portal.Whether Johnson can wrest control of the starting job from redshirt freshman Haynes King who suffered a season-ending injury against Colorado remains to be seen. But Johnson could step in as a veteran presence for a team that is looking to take the next step under Jimbo Fisher. The Aggies have enough talent to challenge in the SEC just look at their 41-38 victory over Alabama and could be a quarterback away from making that dream a reality.Adrian Martinez (Nebraska to Kansas State)Perhaps a change of scenery is what Martinez needs in what will be his final year of college eligibility. The dual-threat quarterback has 8,495 pa sing yards and 45
Drew Stafford Women Jersey touchdowns to 30 interceptions acro s four seasons of play, adding 2,277 yards and 35 more scores on the ground.Charlie Brewer (Utah to Liberty)Brewer's one year in Utah turned out to be le s of a destination and more of a jumping-off point. Brewer, who led Baylor to a Big 12 title game berth in 2019, has shown heart and big-play ability with the Bears and Utes, throwing for 10,184 yards and 68 touchdowns to 31 interceptions acro s five seasons.He'll now make the jump to Liberty, where he can flourish under Hugh Freeze's tutelage. The generally weaker competition should also help Brewer
Travis Zajac Men Jersey finish off his collegiate career with a bang in replacement of Malik Willis. He must first beat out Kaidon Salter first.MORE: Bo Nix (Auburn to Oregon)The former five-star recruit and Auburn legacy didn't quite live up to the hype on The Plains, but is certainly talented enough to make a difference at Oregon. The dual-threat quarterback who as a freshman in 2019 led the Tigers to a win over Alabama has 7,251 pa sing yards and 39 touchdowns to 16 interceptions acro s three seasons. He also has 859 rushing yards and 18 scores on the ground.Kedon Slovis (USC to Pitt)Slovis regre sed in 2020 and '21 following a 30-touchdown debut as a freshman in 2019, but the tools are still there to make him one of the most talented quarterbacks in college football. The former three-star recruit has 7,576 pa sing yards and 58 touchdowns to 24 interceptions. He has three years of eligibility remaining and stands to step in immediately for Kenny Pickett, a in the 2022 NFL Draft. Cameron
