The former Arizona Wildcats quarterback, who sat out last season at Memphis with a leg injury, committed to North Texas after entering the transfer portal this season, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. Gunnell, a Houston native, set Texas' all-time passing yards and touchdown records at St. Pius X High School, and was one of Arizona's highest-rated commits during the Kevin Sumlin era. Gunnell, a previous Texas A&M commit, also held offers from Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, LSU and Michigan as a four-star prospect in 2019. Gunnell played for the Wildcats from 2019-20, playing eight games as a freshman and starting for the UA in the condensed pandemic-influenced 2020 season. - Arizona Star News

04/30/22 - Grant Gunnell, rSr/2025, Sam Houston, 6-5, 220 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Memphis quarterback Grant Gunnell entered the transfer portal Friday (April 29) just one week after competing in the Tigers' spring game, a source familiar with the decision confirmed to The Commercial Appeal. The source requested anonymity because no official announcement has been made. Gunnell is also no longer listed on the Tigers' roster The news comes as a surprise after Gunnell had a strong performance in the spring game where he threw two touchdown passes on his two opening drives.

Gunnell, a junior, missed last season with a right leg injury that required surgery. But his play in both the spring game and the open scrimmage in Nashville showed why the Tigers re-opened the quarterback battle despite Seth Henigan being named a Freshman All-American after starting every game last season. Gunnell showed no issues with his mobility in either open practice. He led three scoring drives in the Nashville scrimmage, including two touchdown passes. With Gunnell's departure, Henigan likely remains the starter when preseason practice opens in August. The Tigers' only other options include freshman Tevin Carter, who enrolled in January, and junior Hunter Hulsey, who walked on last season. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

04/21/22 - Alton McCaskill, rSr/2026, Sam Houston, 6-1, 205 (DS#23 RB) + More +

The Cougars will be without McCaskill for most, if not all, of the season after he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee late in the spring. McCaskill had a sensational freshman season, rushing for nearly 1,000 yards and 16 touchdowns to earn AAC Rookie of the Year. He made an impact from the start and became the type of every-down back that has been in short supply at UH.

There is no timetable for his return, but it's clear the Cougars will not have one of their top offensive weapons for an extended period in what is likely the school's final year in the AAC before a move to the Big 12. "Can he get back to the point he can play in a couple of games?" coach Dana Holgorsen said. "That's not my decision, either. That's medical decisions. If that happens, great. If not, we'll get him ready for spring (2023)." Not only was McCaskill so valuable as a workhorse (team-high 189 carries), but he also was a threat to catch passes out of the backfield (21 receptions for 113 yards and two touchdowns). McCaskill, one of the top-rated signees in school history, lived up to the hype with his 16 rushing touchdowns a freshman record and the second-most by any UH player in a single season, behind quarterback Greg Ward Jr.'s 21 in 2015. "I'm here to be legendary and break records," McCaskill said during his first year. - Houston Chronicle
