Former East Carolina quarterback Gardner Minshew officially transferred to Washington State. Minshew, a graduate transfer who committed to play at Alabama at the end of February before reversing that decision, withdrew from East Carolina at the end of January to attend to a personal matter in his home state of Mississippi. Washington State coach Mike Leach announced the transfer of Minshew on the school's official website. Minshew, who was scheduled to be East Carolina's starting quarterback in 2018, started five games for the Pirates last season, throwing for 2,140 yards with 16 touchdowns and seven interceptions. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Minshew is expected to vie for the starting job with the Cougars. His main competition is Trey Tinsley and Anthony Gordon, neither of whom has thrown a pass since transferring from junior college.
