The rise of the transfer portal has concocted an interesting offseason for the quarterback position at Eastern Michigan.
Eagles quarterback Ben Bryant, who transferred from Cincinnati to Eastern Michigan in January 2021, re-entered the portal on Dec. 27 to seek a new opportunity. Bryant was thrust into the starting role in Week 3 and finished the season as the MAC’s third leading passer with 3,121 yards and most accurate quarterback, displaying a 68.4 completion rate.
Eastern Michigan’s other seasoned quarterback, Preston Hutchinson, served as the primary starter in 2020 and was the No. 1 QB on the depth chart for the first two games this season.
