And BG adds a transfer QB to the room.

His name is Drew Gunther and he is transferring to BG from Syracuse.  He entered the portal a couple of weeks ago.  

He is from Malvern, PA, which is over in the Philly area.  He's 6'2" and 203, which is a nice size for a D1 QB.

Gunther was a HS star at Malvern.  He finished as their all-time leader in passing yards and TDs.  This is a school that Ryan Nassib also attended--though I suspect that Gunther had a slightly more up-tempo offense to work with.

Originally, Gunther was headed to Virginia Tech.  The QB room got crowded so he decided to be a PWO at Syracuse.  He red-shirted last year and then entered the portal in August.

According to the story above, a lack of elite arm talent probably kept him from being more recruited.

He joins Matt McDonald, Riley Keller and Tucker Melton in the QB room for whenever we play.  Jacory Jordan is committed as a QB to the 21 class.

Welcome to the Falcons, Drew.

UPDATE:  As you can see in the comments below, an alert reader has reminded me of FR Kody Sparks, who will be in the QB room too.
