Report: Ex-Arizona State, Notre Dame QB Drew Pyne transfers to Missouri

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Former Arizona State and Notre Dame quarterback Drew Pyne committed to Missouri, ESPN reported Sunday.

Pyne entered the NCAA transfer portal in December and re-enrolled at Notre Dame for the spring semester to earn his degree in American Studies. When he transferred to Arizona State, he was one semester short of graduation.

As a graduate transfer at Missouri, he’ll be eligible to play immediately and will have three years of eligibility remaining after factoring in a medical redshirt and the extra year granted by the NCAA for the pandemic-impacted season.

He’ll be joining a quarterback room headed by Brady Cook, who led Missouri to a Cotton Bowl victory over Ohio State in December and is returning for his final season of eligibility.

Backup quarterback Sam Horn will miss the upcoming season following Tommy John surgery.

Pyne, 23, began his college football career in 2020 at Notre Dame. He saw limited action the first two seasons, redshirting as a freshman, and started 10 games in 2022 with an 8-2 record, including 4-1 against top 25 teams.

The Connecticut native transferred to Arizona after the 2022 season but played in just two games for the Sun Devils because of a lingering hamstring injury and other injuries.

In his career, Pyne has appeared in 19 games, completing 61.6 percent of his passes for 2,530 yards with 26 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

Report: Sun Devils to start QB Drew Pyne vs. No. 5 USC

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Injury-depleted Arizona State will start Notre Dame transfer Drew Pyne at quarterback Saturday against No. 5 Southern California, ESPN reported Friday.

Jaden Rashada started the first two games and Trenton Bourguet was under center last week for the Sun Devils (1-2, 0-0 Pac-12), but both have been ruled out against the Trojans (3-0, 1-0) due to injuries.

Pyne, slowed by a hamstring injury in camp, came on in relief in last Saturday’s 29-0 home loss to Fresno State and completed 5 of 13 passes for 52 yards with two interceptions in his ASU debut.

Pyne had to leave that game with an injury and was replaced by true freshman walk-on Jacob Conover.

Pyne completed 64.6 percent of his passes for 2,021 yards with 22 touchdowns and six interceptions in 11 games last season with the Fighting Irish.

He completed 23 of 26 passes for 318 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in Notre Dame’s 37-28 loss at USC on Nov. 26, 2022.
