Tuttle did not get into any games this season. Although he didn’t burn a redshirt season by not playing, he would only have three seasons of college eligibility remaining because he would have to sit out next season as a transfer unless he got a waiver from the NCAA.

Perry and Weldon already used their redshirt season in 2017. The SLC Tribune spoke to 247’s National Recruiting expert Brandon Huffman about the new redshirt rule and its impact on players who decide to transfer. Perry could be a candidate to leave Miami based on how Richt has handled the quarterback situation this season.
"“With the redshirt rule and playing four games, if you’re not playing those guys, they’re going to get wandering eye syndrome and start looking around,… And there’s a lot of schools who are maybe just missing a quarterback and have a quick path to play. In the recruiting process, promises are made, but it’s not until you get there that you see if those promises really come true.”"
Tuttle seems to be a quarterback who could help a Power Five school. It depends on what Richt, Offensive Coordinator Thomas Brown and quarterbacks coach and Richt’s son Jon are looking for in a quarterback. Huffman continued his evaluation of Tuttle with the SLC Trib.
"“I was very surprised, because he had so many opportunities somewhere else…I wouldn’t say it surprised me that a quarterback transferred, but it was surprising that it was Jack Tuttle who did, and how quickly he did.”"
Noland and Tuttle are the two biggest names out there right now with Bryant. That will change with one month remaining in the regular season. If the Miami Hurricanes are going to go after a transfer quarterback it will likely be a player from a Power Five school.
It doesn’t seem likely that Miami will target any transfer quarterbacks at this point. The Richts and Brown seemed content with who they have on the roster after losing potential four-star signee Michael Johnson to Penn State.
