Could be a possibility - hope willie has his cell phone number....

Redshirt junior Greyson Lambert will transfer from Virginia, the quarterback announced Saturday on Twitter, calling it the "hardest decision" of his life.

The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Lambert received his undergraduate degree and will be eligible to play elsewhere this fall. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

"I met with Greyson earlier this week and he explained to me his reasons for wishing to transfer," said Virginia coach Mike London. "I want to wish him well and appreciate everything he has done for our football program. He is a fine young man and will do well."

A Jesup, Ga., native, Lambert exited the spring behind Matt Johns on the Cavaliers' depth chart after starting nine games last season. One of four team captains last season, Lambert had completed 59 percent of his throws in 2014 for 1,632 yards with 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He added two rushing touchdowns.

Lambert becomes the third consecutive incumbent starting quarterback to leave the Cavaliers since 2012.

Since 2012, seven quarterbacks have transferred, including 2012 starter Michael Rocco, 2013 starter David Watford, Ross Metheny, Phillip Sims, Michael Strauss and, earlier this week, redshirt freshman Corwin Cutler, who made a similar announcement on Twitter.

The program also lost tight end Jake McGee, its best offensive player, during an offseason last year even though London and his offensive staff were devising ways to feature his pass-catching abilities.

Virginia's inability to find, or commit to, a quarterback has contributed greatly to its offensive inconsistency.

Rocco led the Cavaliers to an 8-5 record and a bowl appearance in 2011, but was forced to share the job with Sims, a once-heralded transfer from Alabama, the following season.

Since then, the Cavaliers have finished 4-8, 2-10 and 5-7, leading to athletic director Craig Littlepage giving London just a one-year extension even before their final game last season.

Lambert's departure comes less than a year after he was heralded as the answer to Virginia's long-running search for a quarterback. But he was benched before halftime in the opener against UCLA and shared the job with Johns the rest of the season. Johns won the starting job this year in spring practice.

In a news conference after releasing the depth chart, London said the battle for the top spot "wasn't close."

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

We can see if he is interested but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Numbers are so so but better than anything we have on the roster

I doubt Taggart would even contact him. He's seems invested in Flowers. I can't believe he hasn't been aggressively going after transfer/JUCO QB's that can play immediately (From what I've heard). Flowers could use the redshirt and Bench isn't the answer.

He was #8 pro style QB coming out of high school:  http://247sports.com/Season/2012-Football/CompositeRecruitRankings?InstitutionGroup=HighSchool&Position=PRO

 

Not sure if he would be the perfect fit for Willie's new system but if we are banking on QF to turn around USF's football program next year we might be in trouble.  I hope I'm wrong about QF and he surprises everyone but we should be looking for more options at the QB position (JUCO or graduate transfers).  I can see it play out that QF struggles the first couple of games, Bench comes in and plays like Bench and then we are looking at a 3 to 4 win season again.  Willie - "Do Something" about our QB situation!!

Images of Willie Taggart as Alfred E. Neuman of Mad Magazine fame saying, "What, me worry?"

Looking at that ranking, Cincy's ability to grab QBs astounds me. They have Gunner Kiel (albeit by transfer), Bennie Coney, and Trent Norvell all from one class.3 of the top 30 pro style QBs in that group went to Cincy. WTF?

Sound familiar?

We've been very consistent the past two years.

And Bennie Coney is from the Tampa Bay area.
