TALLAHASSEE -- Florida State has found some immediate help at the quarterback position.

Following an official visit that spanned from Friday to Sunday morning, former Wisconsin quarterback Alex Hornibrook has decided to transfer to FSU. Hornibrook took to social media just before 11 a.m. to announce his intentions. UCLA, as well as possibly others, were considered to be in contention as a transfer destination.

He is set to graduate in May and will have one year of immediate eligibility remaining.

FSU head coach Willie Taggart put out a 'ring, ring' tweet just after 9:30 a.m. on Sunday morning regarding the newest addition to his team. Taggart is unable to name the specific player via the tweet due to compliance.

Hornibrook was shown a great deal of attention by Taggart's staff. He spent a majority of his time with offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Kendal Briles during the visit. He was accompanied on the visit by his father and his brother, Jake Hornibrook.

FSU has been in search of additional quarterback depth throughout the offseason. That search only increased when former starting quarterback Deondre Francois was dismissed from the program in early February.

Francois' dismissal left only redshirt sophomore, and former starting quarterback, James Blackman as a quarterback who was on scholarship and available for the 2019 season. Blackman at one point between the end of the season and the start of spring deliberated exploring transfer options, but didn't pursue it to the point where his name ever appeared in the transfer portal.

The Seminoles did add transfer quarterback Jordan Travis in December, and he enrolled in January, but the redshirt freshman is pursuing a waiver for immediate eligibility. As of Wednesday, head coach Willie Taggart stated that they didn't yet have final word regarding his waiver status.

They also have walk-on quarterback Nolan McDonald, who has earned praise from coaches and players for what he brings to the table.

In addition to Hornibrook, FSU also is expected to add transfer Wyatt Rector to their roster. He is supposed to enroll in May. He is in the midst of the application process to FSU and has been in regular contact with Briles, per his father. His scholarship and eligibility status is unclear at this time.

Hornibrook announced at the end of February that he was transferring from the Badgers program, immediately entering the transfer portal. He started 32 games over the past three seasons for Wisconsin, going 26-6.

Hornibrook, who is originally from West Chester, Pa., redshirted during the 2015 season after signing with the Badgers out of Malvern Prep, and then played, starting a majority of games, over the next three seasons.

He played in 35 games with 32 starts at quarterback, going 26-6 (.813) as a starter, the best winning percentage by a quarterback in school history, including a 20-4 record in Big Ten games. He finished his 3-year career as a starter for the Badgers ranked in a tie for No. 3 all-time at UW in touchdown passes (47), No. 4 in completion percentage (60.5), No. 4 in pass efficiency (138.1) and No. 5 in passing yards (5,438). He did also throw 33 interceptions. The Badgers' offense is best described as one that relies heavily on the run game as well.

"Alex informed us of his decision to leave the team earlier today," Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst said on Feb. 27th when news broke of Hornibrook departing the program. "He contributed to a lot of our recent success, and we want to thank him for all he did for our program. We wish him the best of luck."

His major is real estate and urban land economics.

This past season he started nine games at quarterback, missing four due to back and head injuries. He completed 59.5% (122 of 205) passes for 1,532 yards, 11 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He finished with pass efficiency rating of 132.5.

His best season came in 2017. He started all 14 games at quarterback, completing 62.3% (198 of 318) of his passes and finished with a pass efficiency rating of 148.6 on the season. He completed 25 touchdown passes, the second-best single-season total in school history and threw for 2,607 passing yards, fifth-most in a single season at UW. He was named Orange Bowl MVP for his performance in which he went 23-for-34 for a career-high 258 yards and UW bowl game-record four touchdowns versus Miami.

During his freshman season, he played in 12 games with nine starts. He completed 58.6% of his passes (106 of 181) for 1,262 yards, 9 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. His passing yardage total of 1,262 was second-best by a freshman in school history.
