Reports say Baylor to add Arizona transfer quarterback Solomon

Former Arizona starting quarterback Anu Solomon will transfer to Baylor as a graduate student and enroll immediately, 247Sports reported and ESPN.com confirmed Monday, citing sources.

Solomon lost his starting job in 2016 after battling a knee injury. As a redshirt freshman, Solomon threw for 3,793 yards and 28 touchdowns.

Solomon will provide quality competition for Baylor incumbent starting quarterback Zach Smith from Grandview. As a freshman last season, Smith took over for injured senior Seth Russell and capped a promising debut with a strong performance in the Cactus Bowl, a 31-12 victory over Boise State.
