Former Arizona State and Notre Dame quarterback Drew Pyne is transferring to Missouri, he told ESPN in a phone interview on Sunday.
Pyne told ESPN he committed on a trip to Columbia this weekend, the only place he's visited. He will enroll after the spring semester and expects to have three years of eligibility remaining.
Pyne began his career at Notre Dame, where he went 8-2 as a starter and arrived there as an ESPN 300 recruit. He returned to Notre Dame this semester in order to graduate with a Notre Dame degree.
He is spending the semester as a regular student wand is working out five days a week with a trainer. Pyne said the time away from a program gave him the opportunity to look for the «right situation,» which he said he found at Missouri. «From the beginning, Missouri stood out,» he told ESPN. «The program has great momentum as one of the best in the SEC and to be one of the best in the country.
