BOCA RATON — After months of searching, Lane Kiffin has finally found his graduate transfer quarterback.
Former Arkansas and SMU quarterback Rafe Peavey has officially joined the Owls as a grad transfer and is immediately eligible to play. Peavey was cleared shortly before Tuesday’s practice and took reps with the first, second, and third-teams.
“We’re always looking for people,” Kiffin said, “and we had looked for a while for the right fit of a quarterback due to numbers once Jason (Driskel) left.”
Peavey, 22, was a perfect four-of-four for 116 yards and a touchdown in three games last season.
