Inside 2024’s Transfer Quarterbacks: Who’s Dominating, Who’s Struggling, and Why Uiagalelei’s Story Will Surprise You

Notre Dame’s Riley Leonard has looked injured all season. His weirdly lousy play bit the Irish in a loss to NIU in Week 2, which is likely to hold up as the biggest upset of the year. So far, the best thing to be said for the Duke transfer is that on his 41 designed carries, he has averaged a robust 8.4 yards.
Only two quarterbacks with as many designed runs have averaged more: Navy’s Blake Horvath (who’s running a service academy option scheme) and Washington State’s John Mateer.
Syracuse’s Kyle McCord and Duke’s Maalik Murphy weren’t able to top (or stay atop) the depth charts at blue-bloods Ohio State and Texas. But each has a big arm, and their new ACC teams have turned them loose with average target depths above 10.0 yards. They’ve each hit on some excellent throws, too.
