Notre Dame quarterback Drew Pyne announced Friday on social media that he is putting his name in the transfer portal. Pyne posted on Twitter that being a student-athlete at Notre Dame was "one of my proudest honors ..."as well as, "Now it's time for me to take on a new challenge, and I will be entering the transfer portal." He took over as the starter after Tyler Buchner went out with a season-ending shoulder injury in the second game of the season against Marshall.

Notre Dame went 8-2 with Pyne starting. The third-year player passed for 2,021 yards and 22 touchdowns with six interceptions. He could have as many as three years of eligibility left after having played during the pandemic season of 2020. The Fighting Irish still have a bowl game, and will learn Sunday their opponent and the location. Freshman Steve Angeli is next on Notre Dame's depth chart. He has not attempted a pass this season. - AP College Football

12/02/22 - Drew Pyne, rSr/2026, Bowling Green, 5-11, 196 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Notre Dame quarterback Drew Pyne, a 6-0, 205-pound player, tweeted Friday that he is entering the NCAA transfer portal. Pyne, who will have three years of eligibility at his next destination, is not planning to play in the team's bowl game, sources told ESPN on Friday. Pyne started 10 games for Notre Dame this season, leading them to an 8-2 record and finishing No. 20 nationally in individual quarterback efficiency. He threw 22 touchdown passes and six interceptions, rushing for 108 yards and two more scores while completing 64.6% of his passes. He had a 4-1 record against top-25 teams, which was the most wins against top-25 competition at Notre Dame in the past decade.

Pyne's production at such a high-profile school should create a strong market for his services. Pyne's likely last game at Notre Dame highlighted his efficiency and skill set, as he completed 23 of 26 passes for 318 yards in a 38-27 loss to USC. His decisiveness in the pocket stood out to opposing coaches, as they characterized him as a quick-twitch thrower. Pyne took over as Notre Dame's starter against Cal on Sept. 17 in the wake of the upset loss to Marshall. He energized the program after it began the season 0-2 and led it on a run of eight wins in nine games. - ESPN.com

Although action doesn't officially start until Monday, among the reported quarterbacks in, or planning to be to enter the transfer portal as of Dec. 1 is Indiana's Connor Bazelak: He started at Missouri in 2020 and '21, then at Indiana as a fourth-year junior this season. He had some success for both teams but lacked consistency – and, to be fair, consistent help, too. In three seasons as a starter, he threw 36 touchdown passes but also 27 interceptions. - NFL Draft Scout and online sources
