Former Notre Dame quarterback Gunner Kiel will transfer to a new school at the end of the spring semester, and he has been making the most of the past several weekends.

Kiel visited Mid-American Conference schools Ball State and Miami (Ohio), our Joe Schad reports, and he also visited Cincinnati during Easter weekend for the Bearcats' scrimmage inside Paul Brown Stadium, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Kiel's father, Kip, spoke highly of his visit with the Bearcats, telling the Enquirer's Tom Groeschen that it went well.

“The visit to Cincinnati went really well,” Kiel’s father, Kip Kiel, told The Enquirer via telephone. Kip Kiel said his son especially wants good chemistry with his position coaches. In UC’s case, that is quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator Darin Hinshaw and offensive coordinator Eddie Gran. “He thinks the world of coach Hinshaw and coach Gran,” Kip Kiel said.

Schad says that Kiel may visit Ole Miss in the near future as well.
