QB Cade Pearson intends to transfer

Greenrex · January 17, 2019

"North Texas redshirt sophomore quarterback Cade Pearson will transfer from the program, according to a source within the organization.

Pearson only appeared in one game at UNT. He completed all four passes for 17 yards in a 58-16 win over Incarnate Word on Sept. 8, 2018, after being inserted as the third-string quarterback. However, he quickly fell down the depth chart against a pair of talented true freshmen"

Timing seems weird.

But what do I know? Maybe it's perfect.

Probably just waiting for the right offer.

Does anyone know how many "stars" our other QBs had ? I would have guessed that all our QBs had 3.

I hope he finds a home and can get some playing time.

Good luck to Cade. He seemed like a good kid. The QB room is just loaded right now.

Hey I don’t blame him for wanting to get on the field and play. I wish him and his family only the best.

I hate to see this. He graduated HS early and participated in Spring training his first semester on campus. Should have had more playing time.

Yes but it is concerning that all four of Fine’s backups (including Aune) will be freshmen. Both from an experience standpoint and, more importantly, once one of them is named the starter then the rest will all likely transfer because of how close they are in terms of grade classification.

Yep...next 2 classes needs to have 1 stud QB apiece. Actually, every class should really have the best available QB in it. The QB may look good but 1) We really don't know what we have and 2) Like you said, the QB room will be slim pickens once Fine's replacement is named.

This is not unexpected. When 4 play in front of you and 3 of them are back, it doesn't look good for future playing time.

I wish him well.

To me the big key on this is what do we have in Aune? How quickly can he mature? We have some good talent in Bean and Martin and with Will Kuehne on the way I still like where we are at.

The subs in the NM game summed it up for Cabe

Maybe, but also many times qb is moved to another position! Bean to receiver? Aune is the wild card. Nice problem to have!

To me, Aune isn’t a key to anything. If he ends up contributing it is a plus not a necessity. And let’s be honest - the chances of that are fairly low. I would bet the staff is more concerned with the QBs on the roster that they recruited rather than a hopefully who hasn’t played in years.
