Pyne&#8217;s journey began at Notre Dame in 2020, where he redshirted his freshman year. He started 10 games in 2022, achieving an 8-2 record, including a notable 4-1 against top-25 teams. In his final game with Notre Dame, Pyne threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns in a loss to USC. He transferred to Arizona State in 2023 but played in only two games due to injuries. In his lone season at Missouri, Pyne appeared in six games, starting one, and accumulated 391 yards along with three touchdowns and three interceptions. \ue200cite\ue202turn0news12\ue201\ue206<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pyne&#8217;s decision to enter the transfer portal comes after Missouri&#8217;s acquisition of former Penn State backup quarterback Beau Pribula, who will compete with Sam Horn and true freshman Matt Zollers for the starting position. Pyne&#8217;s graduate status allows him to enter the portal ahead of the spring transfer window, which opens April 16-25. \ue200cite\ue202turn0news12\ue201\ue206<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This development adds to Missouri&#8217;s recent quarterback changes, including the departure of true freshman Aidan Glover, who entered the transfer portal in December 2024. Glover&#8217;s exit, along with Pyne&#8217;s, leaves the Tigers with sophomore Brett Brown and redshirt sophomore Sam Horn as the remaining quarterbacks from the 2024 roster. The team is also anticipating the arrival of four-star recruit Matt Zollers in the 2025 class. \ue200cite\ue202turn0search5\ue201\ue206<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As the transfer portal continues to reshape college football rosters, Missouri&#8217;s quarterback situation remains fluid, with competition expected among the current and incoming players for the starting role in the upcoming season.\ue206<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\ue200navlist\ue202Missouri QB Drew Pyne Enters Transfer Portal\ue202turn0news12\ue201<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breaking News: Missouri Tigers elite QB Drew Payne is leaving\u2026\u2026.Drew Pyne, a seasoned quarterback with experience at Notre Dame, Arizona State, and Missouri, has entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer, marking his fourth collegiate move.
