Ryan Hilinski announces Big Ten transfer destination after leaving South Carolina this offseason
Ryan Hilinski started at quarterback for the South Carolina Gamecocks for much of the 2019 season, but when Mike Bobo took over as offensive coordinator in 2020, Hilinski sat behind Collin Hill.
After the season, Hilinski entered the transfer portal, though there were some rumors he might consider returning to South Carolina after Bobo left for Auburn.
However, that doesn’t seem to be the case, as Hilinski took to Twitter on Tuesday evening to announce he was transferring to Northwestern:

Hilinski threw for 2,357 yards, 11 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in 2019. He only attempted 6 passes in 2020, completing 4 for 34 yards.
How will he fare with the Wildcats? We’ll find out starting this fall.
I hope he does well at Northwestern. With Ramsey leaving, he should probably win the starting job for what is a pretty solid team that has a serious shot at winning the BIG10 West next year. Too bad he couldn’t make it work at South Carolina. He impressed me in the game we played him in last year.
Wow, Northwestern, now that was an upgrade in every conceivable way, one of the best academic institutions in America.
Good luck to the young man.
Northwestern is just like the poison ivy schools ridiculously expensive and full blown indoctrination centers. Wish him the best add him to heap of 4*+ recruit ran off by the head thief.
I don’t know what Bobo saw in Hill that made him pull Hillinski other than Hill knew his offense already. Ski is a good QB. Bobo will likely feel like Kirby did after he let Fields get away…
Chump was a total train wreck and he confirmed it again with hiring Bobo in turn benching the #2 pro style QB in the country. Chump set us back 10 years.
I watched Hillinski vs Alabama last season and he looked good, all things considered.
When UGA played SCar in 2019 Hillinski looked good until he left the game with an injury.
It was lame of Bobo to bring Collin Hill along, Bobo was just being lazy, didn’t want to have to invest the time and energy in into a new set of QB’s.
The vast majority of UGA fans don’t want Bobo anywhere near our football team.
Yet, Jake Fromm came closer to winning a NC than Fields. Kirby made the right choice.
Should be a good destination for him…those B1G defensive backs are not as quick as ours in the SEC. Lots of luck young man.
