Could ex-LSU QB Brandon Harris be headed to Florida or Texas A&M?

Former LSU quarterback Brandon Harris is exploring transfer options, and his comments indicate that Florida or Texas A&M could be potential destinations. Harris appeared on “Off the Bench” on 104.5 FM ESPN in Baton Rouge on Friday.
“Yeah, I’ve talked to a couple schools in the SEC about different opportunities, and obviously these are bridge situations where you are going in because they don’t have a quarterback that is necessarily ready to play,” Harris told the station. “They may be in a situation where they just lost a senior and they got two freshmen that are not necessarily ready to play, or it could be a situation where they don’t feel they have a quarterback on the roster.”
Florida and Texas A&M lost senior starters Austin Appleby and Trevor Knight, respectively.
Florida has two redshirt freshman competing for the starting job this spring in Feleipe Franks and Kyle Trask. The Aggies have redshirt freshman Nick Starkel and true freshman Kellen Mond, an early enrollee, competing with senior Jake Hubenak.
Harris announced his decision to transfer from LSU on Feb. 13. He has one year of eligibility remaining.
Harris, a former four-star prospect, started 15 games for the Tigers, including the entire 2015 season. But he was benched for Purdue transfer Danny Etling during LSU’s second game in 2016 and never reclaimed the starting role.
“It was a dream come true being the starting quarterback at a flagship school like LSU,” Harris said. “Unfortunate it didn’t work out.”
Harris threw for 2,756 yards, 20 touchdowns and 10 interceptions during his career. He also rushed for 370 yards and seven touchdowns on 97 attempts.
