Familiar faces in new places: Here are the key transfer QBs to know this college football season

There are a lot of familiar quarterbacks in new places ahead of the 2024 college football season.

Playoff contenders like Ohio State, Oregon, Notre Dame and Florida State all added QBs in the offseason in an attempt to bolster their national title chances. And that’s just a fraction of the quarterback transfer activity that happened since the 2023 season ended. Here’s a brief look at the notable names who have found new teams for the upcoming season.

Wake Forest QB Hank Bachmeier (from Louisiana Tech)

Bachmeier spent one season at Louisiana Tech after four at Boise State. His best season came in 2021 with the Broncos when he threw for over 3,000 yards and completed 63% of his passes.

Michigan State QB Aidan Chiles (from Oregon State)

Chiles appeared in nine games for the Beavers in 2023 and comes to East Lansing after Michigan State hired Jonathan Smith away from Corvallis. Chiles is the favorite to start for the Spartans in 2024.

Baylor QB DeQuan Finn (from Toledo)

The 2023 MAC Player of the Year threw for 2,657 yards and 22 TDs a season ago while rushing for 563 yards and seven scores. He’ll be counted on heavily as Baylor looks to remake its offense following a disappointing 2023 season.

Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel (from Oklahoma)

Gabriel is one of the Heisman favorites entering the 2024 season as he plays his sixth college season at his third school. The former UCF QB spent two seasons at Oklahoma and threw for over 3,600 yards with 30 TDs in 2023. Can he have the same type of season that Bo Nix had last year on the way to setting the single-season completion percentage record?
