When it was announced last week that Duke sixth-year senior quarterback Thomas Sirk would seek to utilize the grad-transfer rule in order to play his final season at the college of his choosing - immediately those in the Gator Nation sat up and took notice.

Here you have a proven, if not battle scarred, player at a position that has been a concern at Florida for years.

Coming out of Baker County High School as part of the Class of 2012 Sirk was a somewhat lightly sought after three-star who only garnered two offers from Power Five Conference programs before committing to and eventually signing with the Blue Devils.

Fast forward to the spring of 2017 and the 6-foot-4, 220-pound dual threat signal caller finds himself in the unique position of being more widely recruited now then he was as a high school senior.
