Best college football transfers in 2020: Trey Sermon, D’Eriq King or UGA quarterbacks?

Which college football transfer will be the most impactful player in 2020?

Trey Sermon, D’Eriq King, Jamie Newman and JT Daniels all transferred this offseason.

FOX College Football tweeted out a graphic of all the top transfer players eligible to play in 2020. Sermon left the Oklahoma Sooners for the Ohio State Buckeyes. King joins the Miami Hurricanes after playing for the Houston Cougars. Newman and Daniels are teammates with the Georgia Bulldogs after playing for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the USC Trojans, respectively.

There are other excellent players on this graphic, such as former Stanford Cardinal quarterback K.J. Costello joining the Mississippi State Bulldogs and former Florida Gators quarterback Feleipe Franks joining the Arkansas Razorbacks. However, Costello and Franks won’t have nearly as good of an opportunity to reach the College Football Playoff as the other four players mentioned above.

Who will be the most impactful college football transfer in 2020?

Certainly, one could make a claim for any player of their choosing. Sermon will have a great opportunity to make a name for himself taking handoffs from Heisman Trophy-contending quarterback Justin Fields while at Ohio State. Leaving Oklahoma was a bold move, but by joining the Buckeyes, it gives him the best chance to reach the playoff this year of the quartet in question.

King sat out the last two-thirds of his senior season at U of H to preserve his eligibility. He didn’t want to waste it playing in a lost-cause season for new head coach Dana Holgorsen. By joining Manny Diaz’s Hurricanes, King has a terrific opportunity to win the ACC Coastal, play the Clemson Tigers for a conference championship and reach a New Year’s Six bowl before finally turning pro.

As for Georgia, they have two strong transfer quarterbacks in Newman and Daniels. Newman is the presumptive Week 1 starter, as he’s coming off a great year at Wake Forest. This will be his redshirt senior year, while it will be Daniels’ redshirt sophomore year after being granted immediate eligibility coming over from USC. Expect both to play and make each other better.

Who will be the most impactful of this foursome? Despite being incredibly talented, Newman and Daniels in a way cancel each other out of this equation initially. One may prove to be the better player than the other, culminating in UGA’s first Heisman Trophy finalist since Garrison Hearst went to New York City back in 1992 to lose to Miami’s Gino Torretta. We can’t pick one just yet.

While King plays the most important position on the field, we’re not nearly as certain over what Miami will be as a football team this year. We think they’ll be better than they were a season ago, but there is a chance the ‘Canes could be a massive disappointment in the ACC Coastal, while the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Virginia Tech Hokies duke it out for divisional supremacy in 2020.

That leaves us with the clear and obvious choice here. It has to be Sermon. He’s going from one perennial playoff contender to another. Though he’s not going to win a Heisman Trophy in Columbus, he could be the catalyst that gets the Buckeyes over the top. If he can be half as good as Travis Etienne is for Trevor Lawrence at Clemson, it may be enough to get Fields the Heisman.

Sermon can have a huge impact for Ohio State as the Buckeyes’ No. 2 offensive weapon in 2020.
