The college football season is exciting for a number of reasons. One of those is the impact of transfers and here are the 10 best.

Some college football teams are due for a reboot next season. With that comes adding talent via the transfer market. Sometimes, student-athletes feel they don’t fit in their current football team or some players are following the current trend: the graduate transfer route.

Graduate transfers have become a new trend where players attend another school to continue their academic career in some way while still maintaining a year of eligibility in their respective sport.

The trend has given players an opportunity to excel on bigger stages at the college level. Quarterbacks Trevor Knight (Texas A&M) and Davis Webb (California) are a few notable players who benefited from the graduate transfer rule in 2016.

Knight started in 11 games for the Texas A&M Aggies. He threw for 2,432 passing yards and 19 passing touchdowns and ran for 614 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns this past season. They finished with an 8-5 record.

Webb didn’t have quite the same results, record-wise. Webb threw for 4,295 passing yards and 37 passing touchdowns in 12 games for the California Golden Bears. However, they finished with a 5-7 record.

Safe to say, there’s an upside and downside to transferring schools. Here’s a look at 10 transfers who could have the biggest impact in 2017.
