South Alabama redshirt junior QB Cephus Johnson is entering the transfer portal.
Johnson’s future appeared so bright for the Jaguars not so long ago, a potential four-year starter, but despite his tools, Johnson couldn’t fix his accuracy woes in time and was swapped out for Desmond Trotter as the school’s quarterback of the future. Johnson ends his career with a completion percentage around 50% with an 8/8 TD/INT rate. It’s unclear whether or not he’ll graduate in time to earn the grad transfer delineation. If not, he’d likely have to sit out next fall if he stayed in the FBS. Johnson (6'5/220) is still big and can move around, so he should draw some interest on the open market. He may be FCS-bound if he’s dead-set on a starting QB job, however. Especially if he wants to play right away and hasn’t graduated.
