Stanford football gets rare transfer portal boost at quarterback in former Syracuse QB Justin Lamson.
STANFORD – The transfer portal has been mostly one-way traffic for Stanford football, with 17 key players leaving just this past offseason.
Being unable to retool at a crucial position such as quarterback through the portal can be a competitive disadvantage for Stanford. Every other team in the Pac-12 might start the season with a transfer QB as its starter. That includes all five Pac-12 teams in the AP Top 25 – defending Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams , Michael Penix Jr. , Bo Nix , DJ Uiagalelei and Cameron Rising .
First-year Cardinal head coach Troy Taylor hasn’t announced a starter for the Sept. 1 opener at Hawaii, and said he wouldn’t be opposed to playing multiple QBs, something he did at his previous stop, Sacramento State. Taylor is familiar with Lamson. He was at Sacramento State when he first scouted Lamson, a Top-50 prospect in California, when Lamson was 25 miles away at Oak Ridge High School in El Dorado Hills.
