Former South Carolina football QB Ryan Hilinski has found a new home.

South Carolina signal caller Ryan Hilinski announced that he planned to enter the transfer portal in late December, amid a coaching change and falling behind Luke Doty on the depth chart. On Tuesday, he unveiled his new landing spot for the 2021 season.

Hilinski will join a Northwestern squad fresh off of an appearance in the Big Ten championship game. The team finished the year 7-2, losing to only Ohio State and Michigan State.
