Former Alabama transfer named starting quarterback at Big Ten program
The former Alabama transfer is set to start at quarterback for a Big Ten program this fall after transferring into the conference over the offseason.
Rutgers Scarlet Knights have selected former Alabama Crimson Tide transfer Dylan Lonergan as their starting quarterback for the upcoming 2026 season. Lonergan transferred to Rutgers after completing his college football career at Boston College, where he had a standout season last year. He edged out fellow quarterback AJ Surace for the starting position.
Lonergan played only three games during his time at Alabama, accumulating 35 passing yards and rushing for 21 yards. Upon entering the NCAA transfer portal following the 2024 season, Lonergan ultimately chose to join the Rutgers program. Rutgers' first game of the 2026 season is scheduled for Thursday, September 3, against UMass at home.
The Scarlet Knights are also set to travel to Boston College for a Week 2 matchup. For the latest updates and coverage on Alabama news and opinions, follow @RollTideWire on X or like their Facebook page.
