Gunner Kiel - QB - Bearcats

Notre Dame freshman QB Gunner Kiel intends to transfer to a different program, according to the Irish Sports Daily.

"His motives for transferring or his future plans aren't immediately clear," the report states. "One source claims Notre Dame would leave the door open for Kiel possibly changing his mind and sticking out in South Bend." The Irish would love to have him back, but they understand things don’t always work out. Kiel spent the season on the Irish scout team and flashed arm strength and accuracy, but was unlikely to challenge sophomore Everett Golson. Out of high school, Kiel was set on attending LSU, but changed his mind out of nowhere and moved north to South Bend.

It’s only one spring practice session, but QB Gunner Kiel made a nice first impression.

As far as this spring is concerned, Kiel has exactly one month of workouts and study to digest the Irish offense and show what he can do with it. The 6-foot-4 freshman is among four quarterbacks vying for the starting job and he is eager to absorb as much as he can the next few weeks. The Notre Dame spring game is April 21.

Distance from home was a key reason, though not the only one, behind Indiana's Gunner Kiel choosing Notre Dame over LSU.

Being close to home was important, for sure, but not the only reason Kiel decided to stay in-state. Even after the Irish's recruitment of the quarterback hit a bit of a snag in December, coach Brian Kelly continued to show plenty of interest. Ultimately, that played a key role in the young man's decision as well.
