The backup quarterback will be entering the transfer portal. He will be eligible right away. He could also still play in the next two seasons. He confirmed his decision on his Twitter account. He posted a long farewell note, which has been met by positive notices in the Clemson community.

It can be remembered that Brice planned to be the country’s best backup quarterback in 2019. It was always his goal to be on the level of Lawrence in playing the position. Chase Brice was a huge fan favorite among Tigers fans over the past two years. He has not started a game in his college football career because of the presence of Trevor Lawrence and Kelly Bryant.

Udeze also had a prolific college football career. He was once an All-America defensive end for the USC Trojans in 2003.

The Vanderbilt Commodores also hired Todd Fitch as the offensive coordinator for the upcoming season. He will be replacing Gerry Gdowski, who got fired along with defensive coordinator Jason Tarver.
