Cal’s quarterback picture got a little clearer today when RS Freshman QB Max Gilliam announced via Twitter that he has been granted an unconditional release and will transfer.
With the recent addition of transfer QB Brandon McIlwain and what appears to be a two-man race between Ross Bowers and Chase Forrest for the starting QB job this fall, Gilliam will head elsewhere to continue his career.
His transfer leaves Cal with 4 scholarship QB’s on the roster, so Coach Wilcox and Co will almost certainly be looking at adding 2 QB’s this recruiting cycle.
Thanks to Max for his time in Berkeley and best of luck wherever he lands!
