Washington's Michael Penix Jr. showed that a quarterback transfer can not only change a player's trajectory, but an entire program's.
The quarterback transfer market has become the most significant personnel component in college football, as the hits, misses and everything in between shapes so much in the sport. The 2023 season produced another Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback who transferred in LSU's Jayden Daniels (Arizona State), as well as exceptional runners-up in Penix (Indiana) and Oregon's Bo Nix (Auburn).
Although all three Heisman finalist quarterbacks were in their second seasons at their new destinations, several first-year transfers stood out.
