All 3 QBs who were Heisman finalists started for 3-4 years at their previous school before starting 2 seasons at their current school. I don’t think anyone saw Heisman finalist in their future when they were in the portal. If they were in the portal today with their resume at the time of their transfer, how would they compare to Howard, Ward, and Leonard?
