With the university football season from 2025 to a few weeks, it is time to cool off with the countless transfers that occurred during the offseason. Here are 10 of the largest quarter-arre passages during winter and spring while teams like Miami, Louisville and Colorado sought to add veterans QB to replace their beginners who were taken to the draft of the NFL 2025.
Miami QB Carson Beck (from Georgia)
A year ago, Beck was a favorite of Heisman and hoping to become a first round choice in the draft of the 2025 NFL. Now, he is in Miami who seeks to save his recovery prospects following a disappointing season of 2024 which ended with an elbow injury.

After finishing 72% of its passes and on average 9.5 yards by attempt in 2023, Beck completed only 65% of its throws and has on average 7.8 yards per attempt in 2024. It also launched twice as many interceptions as from dry TECL to the dry. If Beck looks more like him in 2023, Miami has a great chance to make the university football playoffs.

Florida State QB Thomas Castellanos (du Boston College)
The former BC QB made the headlines of this offseason with his garbage speeches in Alabama. The seminoles and Crimson Tide meet in week 1 and Castellanos made it known In an interview with ON3 that “I don’t see (Alabama) stopped.”

These are great words of a guy who lost his starting job in 2024 before deciding to transfer. In eight games last season, Castellanos launched for 1,366 yards and 18 TD with only five interceptions. Florida State hopes that it will be a massive upgrade on the QB game that the team had last year in its disastrous campaign 2-10.
Iowa QB Mark Gronowski (from the state of southern Dakota)
One of the best quarters of the FCS level has moved east to try to give the Hawkeyes an offensive spark. Gronowski has been a four -year -old South Dakota state and launched more than 20 affected and rushed over more than 400 yards during each of the last three seasons. In 2024, he completed 61% of his passes for 2,721 yards and 23 td while rushing 83 times for 577 yards and seven scores. If he displays these figures in 2025, Iowa will be a sleep candidate to make the title game Big Ten.
UCLA QB Nico IAMALAAVA (from Tennessee)
Beck was the deepest transfer of the offseason until the Iamaleava saga becomes the history of spring. The old five -star recruit left Tennessee in the spring on a zero dispute and transferred to his country of origin where he will start at the UCLA.

The first full season of Iamaleava as a starter was a relative disappointment. Tennessee made the play football playoffs, but it was at the back of a stellar racing match and a solid defense. Ten of the 19 TD passes from Imaleava occurred the four non -conference games of the UT. And he launched only five affected against the opponents of the dry who were not Vanderbilt.
While Aamaleava returned to California, Tennessee added the guy who was to be the starter of the Bruins if Iamaleava had remained in Knoxville. The old state application QB Joey Aguilar went to Tennessee after the transfer of iamaleava and to the inner track to start for flights.

Indiana Qb Fernando Mendoza (Cal)
Mendoza has shown lightning of excellence over two years at CAL when he slipped into the departure formation for a team from the Indiana who made the playoffs of university football a season behind a stellar season of the former Ohio Qb Kurtis Rourke.
Mendoza completed 69% of its passes for 3,004 yards and 16 affected in 2024. It was 25 out of 36 for 233 yards and 2 TDs in Cal’s victory over Auburn and launched 285 yards and two scores in defeat at a Bears point against Miami.

Mensah comes to Duke after a strong first season in Tulane. He succeeded 189 out of 287 for 2,723 yards and 22 affected with only six interceptions in 2024 while The Green Wave made the match for the title AAC. Mensah was one of the first QB transfers of the offseason while the Blue Devils and coach Manny Diaz moved early to obtain his services. The old QB of Texas Maalik Murphy started for Duke in 2024 and is now at Oregon State.
Louisville QB Miller Moss (from UCLA)
Like Iamaleava, Moss was unable to set up a start -up of Bowl Stellar at the end of the 2023 season in a successful success in 2024. After launching six affected against Louisville in the Holiday Bowl, Moss launched only 18 TDS on nine games in 2024.

Colorado QB Kaidon Salter (de Liberty)

Salter’s statistics in 2023 were phenomenal; He had 42 TD in total and launched more than 2,800 yards while rushing for more than 1,000 while Liberty did the Fiesta Bowl on the heels of an undefeated regular season. But the flames took a step back in 2024 and Salter did it too. He only completed 56% of his passes last season and succeeded 22 affected in total.

After missing four games, Weigman shone at the start of early October against Missouri. However, he had a hard time in the two games that followed and lost his starting job against Marcel Reed.
