Where Bo Nix ranks among the best transfer QBs of all-time Can you imagine telling Oregon fans back in December of 2021 that Bo Nix, the quarterback they just landed from Auburn out of the transfer portal, would eventually be a Heisman Trophy finalist, and one of the best transfer portal quarterbacks in the history of the sport? I don’t think many Duck fans would have believed you. That’s certainly what ended up happening, though, as Nix took over the Oregon offense and set off on a record pace in 2022, only improving his numbers under Will Stein in 2023 and leading the Ducks to the brink of the College Football Playoff. Now, with only one game remaining in his college career, it’s fair that we look at his standing among the best transfer portal QBs in the history of college football. There are some big names, for sure, with guys like Joe Burrow, Cam Newton, and Jalen Hurts standing among some of the best. This past week, 247Sports ranked the top 10 of all time. Here’s where they placed Bo Nix...
