QB transfer Hilinski looks to make impact at Northwestern
January 24, 2021 GMT
EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) Northwestern added another quarterback last week when Ryan Hilinski announced he was transferring from South Carolina.
If he makes as big an impact as Peyton Ramsey last season, the Wildcats will take it. Ramsey led the Wildcats to a 7-2 record, the Big Ten West championship and a Citrus Bowl victory as a graduate transfer from Indiana.
Hilinski threw for 2,357 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions as a freshman at South Carolina in 2019. He lost a competition for the starting job last season after Collin Hill joined the Gamecocks as a graduate transfer from Colorado State, and appeared in just two games.

It was kind of Pat Fitzgerald to leave January 20 to Joe Biden and get much-awaited Northwestern football news out of the way.
After fans caught wind that NU could be getting a new transfer quarterback last week, South Carolina signal caller Ryan Hilinski officially announced Tuesday night that he will be transferring to Northwestern. The sophomore, with the extra year granted by the NCAA to all players, will have three seasons of eligibility left. He’s likely the odds-on favorite to win the starting job this fall.
