Updating the SEC quarterback transfer market

College football’s closest thing to free agency is under way, and the SEC is smack in the middle of the ongoing quarterback carousel.

Quarterback transfers have become the norm in college football, be it from coaching changes, depth chart issues or other reasons. Young signal-callers are no longer content to be patient and bide their time anymore when they feel as if they can go somewhere else and play immediately.

But they’re hardly alone.

A relatively recent NCAA rule change allows players who have graduated to transfer and immediately play elsewhere. That has only heightened the sense of college football free agency at the sport’s most visible position.

Such is the case for Trevor Knight and Austin Appleby, both of whom have already graduated and are eligible to play immediately. Knight transferred to Texas A&M from Oklahoma, while Appleby comes to Gainesville from Purdue.

Vanderbilt’s Johnny McCrary recently announced his plans to transfer after a disappointing season. McCrary expects to graduate this spring, meaning he would then eligible to play at whatever school is his next destination.

Here’s a look at some of the quarterbacks throughout the SEC who will be calling new places home in 2016.
