One of the byproducts of the pandemic was to offer an additional year of eligibility to athletics.  For eligibility, 2020 did not count at all, which, come to think of it, is far from a terrible idea, in general.

Check out some of the 6th year QBs who have seemingly been around forever:

Stetson Bennett IV (Georgia)

N’Kosi Perry (FAU)

Chris Reynolds (Charlotte, starting for a 5th year)

Sean Clifford (Penn State)

However, none of that quartet hold a candle to the following duo:

  1. Missouri’s 2nd string QB, Jack Abraham!  Abraham is a 7th-year senior!  He started off at Louisiana Tech and later started 27 games at Southern Miss.  Mizzou is Abraham’s 4th stop as the nomad got a lot of pine time at Mississippi State in 2021.
  2. Incarnate Word’s QB wonder, Cameron Ward, has transferred to Washington State.  Ward’s transfer has created an opportunity for 7th year QB Lindsey Scott (Scott’s previous stops were at LSU, Mizzou and Nicholls State)

Welcome to the modern, wacky world of insta-transfers!

Let’s hope these QBs can come up with good thesis topics! (Just kidding – with their NIL money, they can purchase a poor grad student to run interference).
