Potentially in the market for a quarterback following Trace McSorley's departure, Penn State is the odds-on favorite to land Notre Dame graduate transfer Brandon Wimbush, according to recently-released betting odds from BetDSI.

Wimbush would join the quarterback competition this spring with veteran Tommy Stevens and Penn State's soon-to-be redshirt sophomore Sean Clifford, who played well in spots behind McSorley this season. Other teams in the mix for Wimbush include Rutgers, Mississippi State, Boston College and Georgia Tech.

Penn State already has two early enrollees at the position in its 2019 signing class, four-stars Michael Johnson Jr. and Taquan Roberson, two players coach James Franklin is extremely excited about. Johnson Jr. threw a 26-yard touchdown pass and rushed for 24 yards on five carries in the Under Armour All-America Game earlier this month. He finished second in the accuracy competition before the game in the skills challenge.

Wimbush posted a final farewell to Notre Dame this week on Instagram, showering coaches, teammates, supporters and professors with thank yous.

Wimbush entered the 2018 campaign as Notre Dame’s starting quarterback after starting 12 games the previous year. During that junior season, Wimbush was the only FBS quarterback to lead his team to four wins against teams that finished in the AP Top-25. He completed 49.5 percent of his passes for 1,870 yards and 16 touchdowns to six interceptions while rushing for 803 yards and 14 touchdowns.

But after struggling with his consistency during Notre Dame's 3-0 start this season, Wimbush was replaced by junior quarterback Ian Book, a Brian Kelly-directed move that paid off beautifully for the Irish. Wimbush did start and win a fourth game against Florida State in November, but it would be his final appearance (and saving a year of eligibility).

Wimbush, who was a four-star recruit in the 2015 recruiting class rated the nation's No. 3 dual threat according to the 247Sports Composite, holds a career completion percentage of 50.5 over 20 appearances with 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Recently, five-star Georgia quarterback Justin Fields, who was once committed to Penn State, transferred to Ohio State for 2019. Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts entered the transfer portal this week and Texas second-teamer Shane Buechele is expected to play elsewhere as well next season.

Mizzou has already landed two transfer quarterbacks this cycle, Clemson's Kelly Bryant (who is eligible to play in 2019 as a graduate) and TCU's Shawn Robinson.

It's open season on transfer quarterbacks and it appears Penn State is an obvious player.
