If he wants to play, I'd expect him to transfer.
great post from a former athlete we ho Getz it.
IMO I think Clark transfers, I think he is behind these three, throws a beautiful ball, but I think Athan and Kramer bring the duel threat that these guys are looking for and ZA is the elder statesman who was a former starter and I am guessing knows the offense better.
Why?
This was my first thought as well, but after looking at his history, I think it is incorrect. He's a freshman by eligibility this year. In '19 he red-shirted (played in four games or fewer, so it doesn't count as a year of competition). Last year was a freebie for everyone, so it doesn't count for eligibility or on his 5 year clock. Because he already red-shitrted, this year is going to count for him and he will only have three more years to play after this one whether he plays in 2 games or 10 games. His 5 year clock (now 6 year clock with COVID) still expires after 2024.
People have been predicting a gopher qb transfer for years it feels like.

Not to drift this off of Wiley and into a QB thread, but the predictions of a transfer are always there but if the player wants to stay at the power 5 level it isn't that simple as those teams are unlikely to take on an unproven QB transfer.
Yep, timing is a little unfortunate with our current depth at the position. But assuming Wiley wants to be a RB the move makes a lot of sense for the team and the player.
Situation may dictate who enters the game, but I would think that Annexstad has the best command of the entire offense.
Something has to give because it is not good roster management to have 5 scholarships tied up in quarterbacks.
Exactly. It’s a huge risk to enter the portal. Especially if you haven’t played at all. Even if you want to go to a group of five team.
It’s not unusual as teams often take one per year.
The lamentable part is we now only have four running backs with the fourth being a rsFR walkon.Not surprising. He got passed up by two freshmen down to what looks like 5th or 6th string. Good luck to the young man
I'll play PJ!!!
Can always hand off to Ko Kieft
Get your name out there early, begin talking to other schools earlier. Gives them time to make a decision without potentially having the pressure of "We've got other (OL/RB) interested so let us know soon" type situations.
Mo could be gone -- maybe even likely is gone -- and we don't know if Potts will ever play football again. I assume we take another scholarship back in this class, or maybe a transfer (though I think its unlikely in the current play now climate that we get some upperclassman to come compete with a senior and two sophomores).Can always hand off to Ko Kieft
Seriously though, yeah, it is concerning from a depth perspective as we’ve already lost two for the season.
I think that's right. For some, it also might be really difficult to make the necessary effort to continue to practice everyday knowing that you are unlikely to play and that you have already mentally decided to move on.
