Former Missouri Tigers quarterback Jake Garcia, who spent only a season with the Tigers, is back in the transfer portal, per reports. After missing out on earning the starting spot during the 2023 season, Garcia waited the year out and eventually entered the transfer portal, committing to East Carolina.

Garcia struggled with the Pirates in the AAC this season, throwing eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions on top of 1,426 yards. He bounced around with the starter along with Michigan State transfer Katin Houser.

The Whitler, California native started his football career with the Miami Hurricane, throwing for 803 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions in his sophomore season in Coral Gables. He played sparingly during his freshman season there.

Garcia was initially brought in to compete with Brady Cook and Sam Horn in Missouri's quarterback room. In hindsight, the transfer doesn't make much sense. At the time, there was definite uncertainty at the quarterback spot. It is a move, to an extent, that made sense at the time.
