Reed to transfer

Posted by Alex | August 29, 2007 at 11:02 pm | In Quarterback |

Kyle Reed is looking to transfer after losing the backup QB battle to Kevin Riley. Reed, a redshirt sophomore, will have 2 years to play 2 years after the transfer. According to Yahoo, Reed has already contacted San Jose State.

Although this is kind of sad that Reed is giving up on winning the starting QB job in the future, there are some benefits that come from this transfer. It opens up more possibilities for QB recruits in the future, and allows Brock Mansion, Riley, and Beau Sweeney to compete for the starting QB job after Longshore leaves. This takes out a bit of the logjam at the QB position. Also, this transfer speaks volumes to Cal’s recruiting in the past couple years. Reed was a 4-star recruit coming out of high school and was an elite 11 qb. That he cannot even crack the playing field at Cal shows that our level of talent has risen tremendously since the days when Kyle Boller stepped into the starting QB position as a freshman.

  2. Good for Reed. The guy should be a star and it was looking like that would never happen at Cal. Although we’re losing an Elite 11, we have two more in waiting (Riley and Mansion).
