How does Notre Dame QB transfer elsewhere?

Nothing is more compelling than transfers on a college ledge football roster, especially on quarterbacks.

One can play multiple running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and aggressive linemen… but most of the time there can be only one leader or voice in the quarterback.

More than ever, Signal-Clears believes the grass could be greener elsewhere, including the last two Hayesman Trophy winners who were also the NFL’s No. 1 overall pick: Oklahoma Killer Murray (Texas A&M) and LSU J Bur Burrow (Ohio State)

Only in case you have heard of Boston College Phil Jurkovac, By Notre Dame (2018‑19), running a gun for the same path.

Over the decades, a popular notion has developed among those fighting the Irish faithful that the quarterback who relocated from Notre Dame “never really does more” elsewhere.

If he meant to advance in the NFL, that would be largely appropriate. Since 1970, only 26 quarterback transfers, plus five graduate transfers, have been made from Notre Dame and have been on the NFL roster for many years. Former top 100 recruiter Zurkovic is set to become the third.

Most transfers started elsewhere and some had fantastic college careers. In chronological order, here are some of the more well-known ones, with the year they entered the brackets:

Suspended before the start of the season Tom Clements Guided only one national title and J Mont Montana Enrolling as a new student, Henry moved to Louisiana (now Louisiana-Lafayette) and passed the 6566 career yards.

Graham endorsed Rice during the 1988 national title run, but moved to Ohio State in 1989, where he endorsed Greg Frey Started in 1990 and beyond Kirk Herbstreet In 1991, passed for 1,018 yards.

Along with Wright, Graham played in the NFL. The only other Notre Dame transfer quarterback produced by (eighth round in 1992) was in the last half century.

He got his best freshman ever through Notre Dame’s quarterback, winning his first seven starts, completing his 58.4 percent pass, throwing 11 touchdowns against just one hit, and running for 300 yards.

He became unfraffed and did not play in the NFL.
