  Brian Maurer is headed to Texas to continue his college football career. The former Tennessee football quarterback signed with Stephen F. Austin, an FCS school. Stephen F. Austin announced Maurer's edition on Wednesday during the early signing period. At Tennessee, Maurer played in 12 games with four starts, all in 2019. He was 37-of-81 passing for 550 yards and two touchdowns in two seasons.

Maurer entered the transfer portal during the preseason in August. He was absent from a week's worth of practices before announcing he was entering the portal. "I would like to thank both staffs for the opportunity to compete at the highest of levels there is in college football," Maurer wrote on Twitter when he announced his departure. Maurer vanished from Tennessee practices as of Aug. 11. The redshirt sophomore was competing with Harrison Bailey, Virginia Tech graduate transfer Hendon Hooker and Michigan transfer Joe Milton for UT's starting quarterback spot during the preseason. Milton won the job. Hooker claimed it after two games. Maurer appeared to be fourth string in Tennessee's four-man quarterback competition. - Knoxville News Sentinel

  Tennessee quarterback Brian Maurer, who apparently had dropped to fourth string, was not at practice Wednesday. Maurer has not entered the NCAA transfer portal. However, that database usually takes more than one day to update once a player starts the process. Maurer has not appeared injured in previous practices, and classes have not yet begun for the fall semester. The Vols will hold a intrasquad scrimmage, which will be closed to media, on Thursday. Until then, coach Josh Heupel will not be available for comment.

Last week, Maurer explained why he stayed at Tennessee rather than enter the transfer portal like quarterbacks Jarrett Guarantano and J.T. Shrout did after last season. "My family raised a fighter," Maurer said. "I am going to keep swinging until the day I can't swing no more. I am going to give everything I can to this university." All Tennessee quarterbacks are at practice -- except Brian Maurer. Maurer's potential departure - or, at least, absence - slightly simplifies a quarterback battle that had already pushed him out of contention. He appeared to be No. 4 in the rotation from practice sessions open to media. - Knoxville News Sentinel
