Changes, with some continuity, highlight SEC quarterbacks
- More than half the Southeastern Conference teams will start with new quarterbacks this fall due to NFL departures and transfers.
- This turnover stems from entrenched starters leaving for the NFL and the growing transfer portal causing roster shifts across the conference.
- Auburn is set to start transfer Jackson Arnold, Missouri will depend on Penn State transfer Beau Pribula, who secured a $1.5 million NIL agreement, and Tennessee added UCLA transfer Joey Aguilar, who must still compete for the starting quarterback position.
- Tennessee’s Nico Iamaleava turned down a $2.4 million NIL deal before transferring to UCLA, while Alabama is moving toward Ty Simpson amid quarterback uncertainty.
- These changes highlight broader quarterback uncertainty in the SEC, with several programs seeking stability amid a transfer-driven and competitive environment.
