4 years and 3 team switches. Either this guy is chasing a new world record or is speed-running his career to irrelevancy. Not too long ago, when Tyler Buchner lost his starting job at Notre Dame because of a season-ending injury, it felt like Marcus Freeman‘s squad was destined to go downhill unless the backup steps up. Well, 2021+ yards and 22 touchdowns later, this New Canaan native solidified himself as a solid option Freeman and Notre Dame could rely on. But guess what happened after the 2022 conquest ended? A sudden transfer to Arizona State. Albeit now a Sun Devil, ND still had the last laugh as this QB returned to the Irish – but only to finish his degree.
Things sort of went silent after that. After all, the entire “backup QB dilemma” generally results in fans not caring so much about what the backup is doing unless you are Arch Manning. But, as always, this specific backup QB hates being out of the spotlight for too long, so what does he do? “Missouri QB Drew Pyne has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, @PeteNakos_ reports.” Now, we don’t exactly know whether we should be happy about this or sad. Over 5 seasons and 3 different stints later, Pyne now has amassed around 2921 yards under his belt. Although it might not look “enough”, let’s just say he did leave Mizzou a special parting gift during the Sooners game.

3 touchdowns with only 14 completions. Pyne was quite pyne-ful for OU. Now, if there is anyone on the internet that is blowing party poppers because of this portal news, it’s probably Brent Venables.
