Beyond his professional pursuits, Alex Mosnick is an avid fan of college football. 

Seeking new opportunities, several players have transfered colleges in the off-season. Listed below are three prominent quarterbacks who will be playing with a new team when the 2019 season commences.

1. Jalen Hurts. After three seasons with Alabama, Hurts is transferring to the University of Oklahoma for his senior campaign. In doing so, he follows Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray, both of whom transferred to Oklahoma and went on to win the Heisman Trophy. Through three seasons with Alabama, Hurts accumulated 5,626 passing yards, 1,976 rushing yards, and 71 combined touchdowns.

2. Kelly Bryant. In 2017, Bryant led the Clemson Tigers to a win-loss record of 12-2, but lost his starting job to freshman Trevor Lawrence this past season. He'll play for the University of Missouri in 2019.

3. Brandon Wimbush. Limited to only three games with Notre Dame this past season, Wimbush has opted to play his senior season with the University of Central Florida. Through 20 games with Notre Dame, the 6-foot-2 quarterback registered 2,606 passing yards, 1,156 rushing yards, and 36 combined touchdowns.
