The expected news that was set for the transfer of former Texas football quarterback Shane Buechele to the SMU Mustangs was finally announced on Feb. 7. The rise of sophomore Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger this past season meant that Buechele would likely be the backup for the rest of his collegiate career if he stayed on the Forty Acres.
With the transfer of Shane Buechele to SMU, one of the most recognizable and viable quarterback names in the NCAA Transfer Portal is now gone. He was also one of the more experienced quarterbacks available on the transfer market.
