Player movement has been a fixture of the college football offseason, but the impending rule change of a one-time "free" switch is driving an increase of transfers.
And, specifically, more quarterbacks are on the move.
Because only one player can start at the position, QBs have regularly transferred. In many cases, it's the sensible choice too.
But a signal-caller now has even greater incentive to transfer, given that immediate eligibility is expected to be granted. Instead of sitting behind an established starter in 2021, a quarterback can move schools and work to win a competition right away.
