We are rolling through the top five at each position in the college football transfer portal and I saved the quarterback position for last. One reason I saved this position for last is that it is typically the most intriguing, and also due to the fact that it is highly unlikely Ohio State tries to snag another gunslinger in the portal.
Ohio State has had good luck with transfer quarterbacks in the past including Justin Fields and Kent Graham, but with C.J.

It is unlikely that any one of these guys would want to come to Ohio State considering they are likely looking for an opportunity to start immediately.

UCLA has had a bit of a mass exodus with so many players entering the portal, but Parker McQuarrie may have the most potential. The former four-star recruit from New Hampshire is no doubt looking for an opportunity to start…
