SAM HORN TO MISSOURI
Confidence in Missouri head coach Eliah Drinkwitz is growing, and he has some big-time offensive weapons heading to Columbia. He also has an outstanding quarterback coming in to lead his team. Sam Horn threw for almost 4,000 yards, completed more than 70% of his passes, threw 37 touchdown passes and rushed for seven more this past season. Horn had some outstanding receivers that obviously helped him amass such an awesome stat line, but he'll have five-star Luther Burden to throw to at Missouri, so there could be some serious fireworks in Columbia. - Adam Friedman

Drinkwitz came up through the ranks as an offensive coordinator starting out under the guidance of Gus Malzahn forever molding his philosophy on the field. The emphasis is to have a strong run game but also have a quarterback who can drop dimes and beat teams with his legs. Horn is the ideal field general to execute Missouri’s all-out attack. Horn was unrelenting against Georgia defenses during his senior campaign throwing for 3,986 yards while rushing for 621 yards. Horn is that quarterback who can do it all. - Ryan Wright

CADE KLUBNIK TO CLEMSON
I am going to go with Clemson signee Cade Klubnik here. After being spoiled with Trevor Lawrence for three years, the Tigers' offense took a huge drop in production upon his departure. Klubnik comes in from QB factory Austin (Texas) Westlake and will be prepared to battle DJ Uiagalelei for the starting spot right away. In the event that Klubnik doesn't take the reins at QB out of the gate, it will be because his presence elevated the play of Ulagalelei. Whether starter or backup, Klubnik makes the Clemson team better the second he steps on campus, and that is what makes him a perfect fit for the Tigers. - Clint Cosgrove
*****
Clemson has a storied history of program guys and no player in the country better personifies Dabo Swinney's brand of football and culture than Klubnik. There were bumps in Uiagalelei's first season at quarterback and it wouldn't be the least bit surprising to see Klubnik -- a three-time state champion and one of the most decorated high school quarterbacks -- at least push for playing time over the summer. Klubnik has an elite skill set, special intangibles and is a natural leader that should fit in perfectly in Clemson's locker room. - Sam Spiegelman

TY SIMPSON TO ALABAMA
The best fit for a quarterback is four-star Ty Simpson to Alabama. Simpson's father is the head coach at UT-Martin, so the high four-star has an advanced understanding of the position. He will be able to pick up the Crimson Tide offense quickly, he will learn under Bryce Young for a year and then be in a position to take over the Alabama offense. Being a gym rat, knowing the game from a young age, understanding complex things early and so much more will allow coach Nick Saban and offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien to trust Simpson more quickly and that will only help everyone involved.
