Indiana quarterback Peyton Ramsey has entered his name in the transfer portal, a source confirmed Monday. This is a significant but not unexpected development for the Hoosiers’ quarterback room. Ramsey, the redshirt junior, lost his starting job to redshirt freshman Michael Penix Jr. in the preseason, though he proved to be an invaluable backup throughout the 2019 season and ended up totaling 2,454 yards and 13 touchdowns passing in relief. If he had stayed at IU for the 2020 season, Ramsey could have very well found himself backing up Penix. Instead, the 6-foot-2, 216-pounder can search for a situation where he is more likely to be the starter in his final collegiate season.Ramsey’s spectacular play in 2019 just adds to a sense of loss. Despite multiple injuries to Penix, the Hoosiers were able to finish the season with the No. 2 pass offense in the Big Ten. Ramsey’s production was especially vital in road wins at Maryland and Nebraska, as well as the season finale at Purdue where he scored the game-winning touchdown in double overtime. On the year, the Hoosiers’ backup surpassed 300 yards passing three times, including a career-high 371 yards at Penn State. Along with his passing production, he was also a daring scrambler, amassing 252 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. - Indy Star
