During college football’s transfer portal season, quarterbacks are the focus of most interest as they move from Power 5 programs to others. Making the correct swap can alter the sport’s power dynamics.
For instance, Michael Penix Jr.’s exceptional play, which helped Washington become a national title contender when he transferred from Indiana after four years, is only one example. That is typical of a quarterback who transfers from a lower-tier program to one in the top 25, thinking that the increased recognition will boost his chances of winning and get him noticed by NFL scouts.

A player stepping up from the FCS to the FBS ranks is less usual, which is why Reese Poffenbarger of Albany is an intriguing addition to the team. With 3,603 throwing yards and 36 touchdowns in the previous season, Poffenbarger led the FCS. What could he then be able to accomplish while representing a Power 5 program?
Miami plans to investigate. Pete Thamel of ESPN reports that Poffenbarger is moving from Albany to the ACC school. He should be ready to play right away because he only has two more seasons of eligibility.
Poffenbarger will go off against rookies Emory Williams and Judd Anderson, as well as sophomore Jacurri Brown, for the starting quarterback position for the Hurricanes. After Tyler Van Dyke departed for Wisconsin and used the transfer portal, Miami needed another quarterback with some experience.
Poffenbarger’s signing didn’t impress Hurricanes supporters, who were looking for a more seasoned player to start at center when Cam Ward, Will Howard, Malachi Nelson, or even Taulia Tagovailoa were rumored to be interested in Miami.
