If you had to pick 1 transfer from this group who would you take?
Drew Barker (Kentucky)
One year of eligibility
Hometown: Burlington, Ky.
Barker missed the final nine games of the 2016 season with a back injury and never regained the starting job. He was a crown jewel of UK's 2014 recruiting class. His offer list included Tennessee. Barker never blossomed at Kentucky, where he completed 57 of 113 passes during his career. SEC rules ban in-conference transfers, meaning Barker would need a waiver from Commissioner Greg Sankey plus approval from Kentucky to transfer within the conference.
Jeff George Jr. (Illinois)
Two years of eligibility
Hometown: Indianapolis
George, the son of the former NFL quarterback whose name he shares, struggled at Illinois. He completed 48 percent of his passes for 1,743 yards with 11 touchdowns and 15 interceptions during his career. He appeared in 12 games, including nine starts.
Alex Malzone (Michigan)
Two years of eligibility
Hometown: Farmington Hills, Mich.
Malzone committed to Michigan while Brady Hoke, who was UT's defensive line coach in 2017, was the Wolverines' coach. Malzone appeared in two games during his Michigan career but never attempted a pass.
Jalan McClendon (North Carolina State)
One year of eligibility
Hometown: Charlotte, N.C.
McClendon was a highly touted recruit regarded as having a big arm, but he played sparingly for North Carolina State. He served as the backup to Jacoby Brissett and then Ryan Finley. He attended two camps at Tennessee the summer before his junior season of high school. McClendon completed 26 of 47 passes during his Wolfpack career.
James Morgan (Bowling Green)
Two years of eligibility
Hometown: Green Bay, Wis.
Morgan played in 19 games for the Falcons the past two seasons, including 13 starts. He completed 51.9 percent of his passes for 3,342 yards with 25 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. He has visited Florida International.
Jacob Park (Iowa State)
One year of eligibility
Hometown: Charleston, S.C.
Park started the first four games of the 2017 season he completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 1,181 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions before taking an indefinite leave of absence to attend to health matters. Park later told the Des Moines Register that he failed a drug test due to marijuana usage and would have faced a one-game suspension but took leave and never returned. Park's career started at Georgia. Iowa State was his fourth school.
Evan Shirreffs (Miami)
Two years of eligibility
Hometown: Jefferson, Ga.
Shirreffs was Malik Rosier's backup last season, when he completed 2 of 7 passes. He was the valedictorian at his high school. His older brother, Bryant, played quarterback for Connecticut.
Wilton Speight (Michigan)
One year of eligibility
Hometown: Richmond, Va.
Like his teammate Malzone, Speight committed to Michigan while Hoke was in charge. Speight was Michigan's starter in 2016, when he completed 61.6 percent of his passes for 2,538 yards with 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions to help the Wolverines go 10-3. Speight started the first four games of the 2017 season before missing the rest of the season with a back injury.
Alex Thomson (Wagner)
One year of eligibility*
Hometown: Keyport, N.J.
Thomson is entering his senior year but could apply for a sixth year of eligibility due to losing two seasons to injury. Yahoo! Sports reported on Tuesday that Tennessee is among the schools interested in Thomson, a list that reportedly includes Florida International, Oregon State and Iowa State. A shoulder injury limited him to two games in 2017. A former walk-on for Wagner, an FCS school, Thomson completed 55.3 percent of his passes for 3,832 yards with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions during his career.
I'm going with:
1. Thomson (Pros are raving over him)
2. Speight (lots of experience in big time games)
3. Barker(SEC experience)
4. McCLendon (Reminds me of Dobbs)
Thoughts VN?
