The college football transfer portal is still open as programs around the country go through spring practice.

One of the more well-traveled players in college football over the last few seasons has been quarterback Drew Pyne. Pyne, who spent the 2024 season at Missouri, previously suited up for Arizona State in 2023 and Notre Dame from 2020-22. Now, Pyne is on the move again.

According to multiple reports, Pyne is back in the transfer portal. The New Canaan, Connecticut native has one more year of eligibility remaining after receiving a free COVID-19 season in 2020 and a medical redshirt for 2023.

Last year, Pyne appeared in six games for Missouri with one start. He completed 49-of-82 passes for 391 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.

Pyne played in two games for Arizona State in 2023 before injuries ended his season. The former four-star recruit was 26-of-49 passing for 273 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions.

Pyne's most extensive action came in 2022, when he was Notre Dame's primary starter for most of the season after replacing an injured Tyler Buchner.

In 11 games (10 starts), Pyne connected on 64.6% of his passes for 2,021 yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions while also rushing for 108 yards and two scores.

Pyne appeared in two games for Notre Dame in 2021 and four contests as a freshman in 2020, combining for 236 passing yards and two touchdowns in those six games.

At 24 years old with a solid amount of high-level Division I experience, Pyne should be able to provide quality depth for a major program or a capable starter for a mid-major team.

It will be interesting to see where he chooses to finish out his college career, which has already been an eventful and peripatetic one.
