Mike Farrell ranked the top QB transfers in college football this year (he did this before but updated it) and has Peyton Ramsey to Northwestern ranked at No. 5, with an impact rating of 8.5 out of 10.
Here's what he wrote:
As a recruit: An Ohio native, Ramsey collected a few Power Five offers but elected to end his recruitment during the spring of his junior year and commit to Indiana.
At Indiana: After a redshirt season in 2016, Ramsey worked his way into the lineup in 2017, playing in eight games and starting four. He took over as the full-time starter in 2018, throwing for 2,875 yards, 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 12 starts.
He lost his starting job to Michael Penix heading into 2019, but was thrust back into the lineup after Penix suffered a season-ending injury. He didn't disappoint, leading the team to an eight-win season. But with Penix returning, Ramsey elected to finish his career elsewhere and landed within the Big Ten at nearby Northwestern.
Ramsey threw for 6,581 yards, 42 touchdowns and 23 interceptions while completing 66.5 percent of his passes at Indiana. He also rushed for 832 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Farrell's Take: "Ramsey was very solid at Indiana and brings a lot to the table when it comes to poise and accuracy, and I think he’ll be the guy right away at Northwestern. The Wildcats have more issues than quarterback, but he will help the offense stay on the field and avoid turnovers. He was very effective at Indiana under pressure."
Impact rating: 8.5 out of 10
