In a notable development shaking up the collegiate sports landscape, UNLV's star quarterback Anthony Colandrea is prepping to pack his bags once more, this time diving into the transfer portal. FOX5 Vegas reported the quarterback's decision, originating just days following the conclusion of the UNLV football season.
After an illustrious single season with the Rebels, Colandrea snagged the Mountain West Player of the Year honor, dazzling on the field with 23 passing touchdowns paired with an additional scramble into the end zone 10 times over. Just in his junior year, he revitalized the UNLV program, driving them to a solid 10-win season and a coveted spot in the Mountain West title game. Having transferred to UNLV from the University of Virginia, it seems the grass may not be as green as once thought, prompting another jump. According to Sports Illustrated, ESPN's Pete Thamel echoed the news, noting Colandrea's upcoming departure.
During his time with UNLV, quarterback Anthony Colandrea completed 65.9% of his passes for 3,459 yards and 23 touchdowns, and added 649 rushing yards. His departure leaves the Rebels needing to adjust before next season.
With the NCAA transfer portal opening on January 2, Colandrea’s next move is highly anticipated. His agents told FOX5 Vegas Sports that a statement is expected in the coming days.
