IU quarterback Peyton Ramsey enters name into transfer portal

Junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal Monday, weighing the possibility of playing his final year of college football outside of Bloomington.

Ramsey started seven games for IU in 2019 after taking over for injured redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr. The junior from Cincinnati, Ohio, threw for 2,454 yards, 13 touchdowns and only five interceptions. 

“What an absolute awesome young man, just was ready to play when called upon,” IU head coach Tom Allen said about Ramsey following the team’s win over Maryland on Oct. 19. “He proved his value to his teammates today by preparing the way he prepared, to play the way he did and execute at a high level.”

The former three-star recruit led IU to its first bowl appearance in three years when the team faced the University of Tennessee in the Gator Bowl on Jan. 2.

Before the 2019 season, Ramsey was a two-year starter for IU and is the program’s all-time leader in completion percentage at 66.5% in 31 career games.

After graduating at the end of the semester, Ramsey will immediately be eligible to play next season if he decides to transfer.
