We don’t know yet to where Darell Garretson will be transferring. We do, though, know one place where he won’t be.
ESPN.com‘s Joe Schad tweeted that the former Utah State quarterback will be unable to transfer to Washington. Garretson had apparently expressed a desire in the Huskies, but because UW is a future USU opponent -- the two teams will play in 2015 -- the quarterback wasn’t given a release to that program.
As to where Garretson might end up, it was reported earlier this month that Oregon State is a very realistic possibility. Part of the draw for Garretson to the Beavers is that his former Aggies offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Kevin McGivens, is now the quarterbacks coach at OSU.
Schad also noted that the West Coast OSU is a possibility.
After starting seven games as a freshman in 2013, Garretson played in just five games in 2014 before suffering a season-ending wrist injury. It was announced late last month that he was transferring out of USU.
Garretson will be forced to sit out the 2015 season if he ends up at another FBS program. Beginning in 2016, he would then have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
