Notre Dame's Brandon Wimbush transfering to UCF!
I personally think he'll absolutely kill it in the Heupel offense given his skill set.
He went 13-3 as a starter at ND. Eligible immediately.
Should make QB competition incredible vs. Mack and Gabriel coming in.

Damn, our QB transferred to Arkansas. I am heartbroken. Our new transfer unfortunately won't announce for a few more months.

At the very least it increases competition while adding experience and depth.

An extremely athletic veteran insurance policy with a big arm, and surely a chip on the shoulder to win the starting job.

When does Darriel Mack put his name in the transfer portal? What a slap in the face!

He's only a freshman. I dont think its a slap in the face, he can still be the future

Umm - kid's a redshirt freshman. Now his sophomore year you want him to sit behind a ND transfer who's going to chase 1 year of glory. Then, presumably, they'll be waiting to see if Milton's able to play again in 2020. How, exactly, can he be "the future?" He realizes he's Heupel's side piece. Hence, my question.

RE: Notre Dame's Brandon Wimbush transfering to UCF!
This is the best timeline. UCF will never know a regular season where we don't go undefeated, ever again.
We get Wimbush for a year, then Milton for the next year, then Dillon Gabriel will surpass them all!

I expect Mack to start game 1 next year. Just picked up a solid backup. The competition between those two will push them both to be better players. Win-win.

RE: Notre Dame's Brandon Wimbush transfering to UCF!
Great transfer! I love the QB competition this creates.
We need depth with Milton out. You can’t assume he’s going to recover and be able to play next season. We also want to keep Gabriel’s redshirt if possible.

No they want the ND kid to come in and compete for Mack for the job. Not the same thing. Houston had a top level qb transfer in, he got beat out by a WR.

Maybe you should let Mack speak for himself. Maybe you should also trust that the coaches had the appropriate conversations with Mack, Wimbush, and all the other QBs.
A college football team needs 4 scholarship QBs on the roster al all times. UCF only has three...only ONE with game experience, a backup who has never played a snap at QB, and a true freshman.

Umm - you act like MM playing again is a given. Even if he does play will be be the same? Those are 2 HUGE ifs. Mack didn't look that great to me against ECU nor LSU. If I was UCF I would take a QB of that quality too. Who would say no in this situation? If Mack doesn't think he is good enough to start his junior and senior year then he probably isnt

Sorry, but I never thought Wimbush was any good to start.
He lost his job to Ian Book who at best, is adequate.

Lol. How is it a slap in the face? Schools continue to recruit the most talent possible and every position should be up for competition each year.
And there is no way we should go into next season with a combined 3 starts amongst our QBs.

Players that transferred out of UGA, Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State. You flatter us with your comparison.
Sorry about your qb situation btw.
