He was also with the Giants for a couple of years as well. Wright also has a Super Bowl ring.
He was an interesting case since he wasn’t even the starter when he left here.
List of Gamecock QB transfers who had had success at QB after transferring
- Thread starter JDishnell
- Start date

Mangus recruited McEvoy as a "project". His passing was underdeveloped. When he left, he was 5th on the depth chart behind Shaw & Thompson. He wound up playing against us in the bowl game v. Wisky as a S.
A1 also started for the Cowboys for a short time...mostly due to injuries to starters. I thought he looked good and it made me enraged at how Brad Scott had squandered possibly the most talented QB we'd ever had.
Pretty sure Phil Petty felt the same way after the oline revolted at Wright getting replaced.

The biggest issue with that was that he already had a season of MiLB under his belt when NCSU tried to tell him to give it up. He still led them to 9-4 in 2010 after being gone for the Summer playing MiLB ball. Guess that wasn't good enough for NCSU (not like they were world beaters before). Plus he was already a graduate student in 2010 anyway, having graduated in May 2010.
Interestingly he didn't appear against us in the 2008 Regional at NCSU.

Ok, sure at that point he was but we all knew Garcia was the real talent of the bunch and Spurrier seemed to be trying to knock his ego down a peg that year or something... putting him behind Beecher and Smelley seemed to be more of a wake up call than what he actually felt was the correct depth chart IMO. I felt like that then and even looking back, considering what we know about Garcia’s monumental head case issues, I still feel that way...
Funny he left here because the staff wanted him to play safety and he wanted to be a QB. He transfers to Whisky and ends up playing safety.
yes he did!!! in 2008...im not sure he liked it, he got a concussion....not sure he wanted to come back
Whatever....SG was a RS FR...he was not ready to start. The "knock" if there was one, was on Smelley who should have been the obvious starter.
Mcilwain also gave up football this year before the season started. And, hasn't done anything in baseball either. Guess his other thinks he wasn't really given a fair chance once again!
We've had very little success with the QBs who stayed, sure wouldn't expect those who were beaten out to go do much somewhere else.
Don't believe we've had a 3.5 year starter transfer before.
You Bentley haters will be manufacturing excuses as to why he's starting in the nfl in a couple of years.

You Muschamp lovers should be used to QBs transferring away from him and doing better. Brissett and Driskell transferred and did much better elsewhere. Both have started games in the NFL this year.
That's what happens when players get better coaching and play in a coherent offensive system.
Heh. Bentley’s not transferring because “Muschamp”, trust me.
He will flourish in a pro style offense though.
