3. Could there be an influx of QB transfers in A&M’s future?
This is a huge concern on my end. After the spring game, we learned two things. First, Kellen Mond is the starter and there is no real question about it. Second, true freshman Zach Calzada may just be the second in command if you take spring games and the fact that he was the only other guy that threw a touchdown in the game seriously.
Naming him, or anyone, as second in command could lead to a sense of deja vu in terms of quarterback transfers marring the offseason — or during the season — depending on when the announcement comes of the 2019 depth chart.
Kellen Mond wasn’t too great in the spring game, only completing 14-of-26 passes and throwing a first pass interception. Though he did rack up 172 yards and two touchdowns to go with that less than stellar percentage. The only other quarterback to throw a touchdown was true freshman Calzada, who finished with a less than great 8-for-21 with 139 yards, the touchdown to Baylor Cupp and an interception.
Connor Blumrick and James Foster both could consider transfer as one is a redshirt sophomore and the other a redshirt freshman. Neither threw a touchdown and both threw an interception. Foster managed a 7-for-12 night for 67 yards while Blumrick only finished 4-for-12 for 19 yards. Blumrick was widely considered the backup prior to spring practice, but after the spring game he could be considered a possible transfer candidate. F
oster may also consider it if Calzada beats him out for that starting spot.
