Ohio State isn't the only team with quarterback issues.

According to Cole Cubelic of the SEC Network, Michigan quarterback Brandon Peters has entered the NCAA transfer portal.

The redshirt junior out of Avon, Indiana played in eight games for the Wolverines (starting in five of those contests in 2017), throwing for a total of 680 yards and four touchdowns against two interceptions. 

The arrival of Shae Patterson, who transferred to Michigan from Ole Miss last year, along with the emergence of Dylan McCaffrey buried Peters on the depth chart. 

Now in the transfer portal, Peters has two years of eligibility to offer a new team, but he'll have to sit out the 2019 season unless an unlikely waiver comes from the NCAA.

Peters was a highly rated recruit, ranked the No. 6 pro-style quarterback and the No. 61 player overall in the class of 2016. He boasted an impressive offer list in high school that included Louisville, LSU, Nebraska, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin.
