The article discusses potential transfer quarterback options for West Virginia University (WVU) under new coach Rich Rodriguez. It highlights the need for competition and explores some top prospects in the transfer portal.
Before you get upset that I'm even listing transfer quarterback options, it's part of the process, folks. Just about every coach that gets a new job will portal in a quarterback, regardless of the overall shape of the room. It doesn't mean the guy Rich Rodriguez brings in will start, but he will look for someone he believes fits his offense to a T. As I mentioned in an article yesterday, Nicco Marchiol can operate Rich Rod's offense and potentially do well in it.
Is he a perfect fit, though? Probably not. If you're Rodriguez, you can't put all your eggs in one basket in your first year on the job with a quarterback who hasn't been a full-time starter. You have to add competition. There are several quarterbacks in the portal, but if WVU wants to swing for the fences, there are some intriguing options.Mateer is the top quarterback in the portal, and while he may come with a big price tag, it'd be silly not to at least consider him and see what he's looking for. Oklahoma is probably the favorite to land him, given his offensive coordinator at Wazzu, Ben Arbuckle, recently took the OC job there. This season, Mateer completed 64.6% of his pass attempts for 3,139 yards and 29 touchdowns to seven interceptions. He also rushed for 826 yards and 15 touchdowns. Whoever lands this kid is getting a program changer.Noland did not see any action in his true freshman season in Columbus but is going to be a popular target for QB-needy teams. The former four-star recruit held offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Clemson, Colorado, Louisville, Miami, NC State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Texas A&M, WVU, and several others. For his high school career, Noland threw for 10,164 yards and 126 touchdowns to 25 interceptions while adding 334 yards and six touchdowns with his legs.Salter seems to be leaning toward Colorado, with Syracuse still in the mix as well. It might be a bit late in the process for West Virginia to get involved, but it's worth a sho
