Every year the offseason gives way to transfers. Some of the most high-profile transfers are the quarterbacks, and to some extent that makes sense. A handful of defensive backs will be named starters, there will be five more first stringers on the offensive line, but only one man will take the starting quarterback job out of the spring.
