List of Gamecock QB transfers who had had success at QB after transferring
- Thread starter JDishnell
- Start date
It’s similar to the list of Muschamp offensive coordinators that have had successful careers as offensive coordinators after Will Muschamp.
I think he meant Gamecock QB's... But we did own Russell Wilson at NC State,,,
Not so sure about "owning" him. We knocked him out in the first quarter.
August 28 8:00 PM at South Carolina*
ESPN L 0–34 80,616
September 3 7:00 PM South Carolina*
ESPN L 3–7 57,583[1]
2-0, I like to say we owned him...
Vic Penn is about the only one although UCF wasnt very good back then.
Brandon Mcilwain - Cal (no better)
Connor Mitch - James Mad (quit)
Antonio Heffner - Tenn St (much different competition)
Lorenzo Nunez - SE Louisiana (no better)
Tommy Beecher - Liberty (barely played)
Sure im missing some but thats all I can think of.

Tanner McEvoy transferred and had success at Wisconsin as WR.
I think Tanner McEvoy ended up being a DB.
Think he split time between QB, safety and WR. I mostly remember the WR part. Don't recall where he played the most, but it definitely wasn't QB. He played a decent amount at QB in 2014 (112 attempts) and was ok.
Who was that QB who left here and wound up playing Safety at... I think is was Wisconsin?
Edit- just saw him above- Tanner Mckevoy! Wasn’t that GI Joe guy OBSESSED with him on the boards? Ya’ll remember that? Every day he would make a thread kissing this guys nether regions and ranting about how we let a Heisman QB get away... Then Tanner got switched to DB! LOL
I think when Russell Wilson was told he could only play football, (not baseball) at NC State if he stayed his final year of eligibility, he wanted to come to the Gamecocks and do both but Spurrier was not interested because we had Conner Shaw at the time. So off to Wisconsin he went... Look at him now!!!
He not only meant it, he said it. Negative comprehension by that respondent.
Russell Wilson was a Gamecock, he just didn't know it at the time when we owned him....
true story but all three Mitch kids started out at major programs (M1 QB @ UMD, M2 WBB @ Duke, M3 QB at USC) and ended up leaving for minor programs (I think the others were something along the lines of Gardner Webb types of schools). Based on his brother and sister, I called this the minute he took the field at USC. Good kids though, kind of a bummer.
There were 2 Spurrier recruits, one started and threw 3 or 4 interceptions and was not seen again. He played in a smaller college and his other recruit from Penn. was decent when he transferred. One other transferred to Jacksonville and did pretty well. Can't remember the names but I'm sure someone will.
Tommy Beecher is the one who started that one game and just bombed... It was a damn shame to see. Kinda made it feel like Spurrier used him to send a message to Garcia..
For Spurriers reputation as a QB guy he surely struck out on a LOT of QB’s here. Some clearly were not major D1 material.
There's a NFL player who played with Tanner. He told me Tanner was the most athletically gifted player we had but he was in SOS's doghouse for that incident and would always be. Looks like he was onto something considering he made the league as a Safety and WR.
Don’t think he did.
Who was the other northeast guy we signed besides McEvoy? I think a year or two after him. I think because of Mangus we thought our QB’s had to come from up there.
Brendan Nosovitch, from Allentown, PA. Got his degree from here and went to Boston College as a grad transfer. Don't think he ever got in a game there, though.
We have never produced a NFL QB, much less had one transfer out. We have a long and storied history of terrible QB's.
The disaster down at Auburn Spurrier's first year. I was there to witness it all - Spurrier sitting on the bench with Hefner, who was clearly out of his element, trying to calm him down. Kenny Irons had fun against us that night also, if I recall correctly.
Anthony Wright had a pretty good NFL career as a QB, didn't he? Maybe as a back-up/part time starter for the Ravens for several years? I just don't remember the details.
Yep I was at both games. My seat was right behind band nc state stadium. I remember, we owned him.
