Buechele entered the NCAA transfer portal on Jan. 16 as he looked to explore his options as a graduate transfer.

247Sports rated the 6'1", 210-pound quarterback as a 4-star recruit and the No. 3 dual-threat passer in the class of 2016 coming out of high school. In 2016, he became the first true freshman quarterback to start the season opener for the Longhorns since 1944.
