Katin Houser, a former Michigan State quarterback, has transferred to East Carolina but will start the season as a backup to Jake Garcia, who was named the starter by head coach Mike Houston. Houser, who previously had a rough season with Michigan State, demonstrated a positive attitude despite not securing the starting role. Meanwhile, Sam Leavitt from Michigan State has been named the starting quarterback at Arizona State after beating out fellow transfer Jeff Sims, aiming to improve upon last season's poor performance. The NCAA Transfer Portal has seen a significant increase in player movement, with many athletes like Chubba Purdy moving multiple times in search of playing time. Purdy, now at Nevada, faces challenges as he seeks to overcome injuries and competition for the starting job. The shifting quarterback landscape highlights the ongoing impact of coaching changes and the transfer portal in college football.
