It looks like Logan Gray is getting tired of being the backup.
Gray, who is the second-string quarterback behind Aaron Murray, met with Mark Richt Monday and is considering transferring to another school.
Gray is a junior and has served as backup since he came to Georgia. Murray, on the other hand, is a redshirt freshman and has already earned the starting job without ever taking a snap.
If Gray leaves the team, that leaves the Bulldogs with a staff shortage at quarterback, as incoming freshman Hutson Mason would be the only other quarterback on the team.
Should Gray move to another Division I-A school, he'll lose a year of eligibility and would not be able to play his senior year at the new school (see Mitch Mustain, USC quarterback). If he transfers to anything lower, he'll keep his two-year eligibility he has with the Bulldogs.
Luckily, Gray is a shifty kind of player. Technically, he's a dual-threat quarterback. He has a good speed and can turn on a dime, which made him useful on triple-option QB runs last season. Can you say wide receiver?
The guy has no problem handling fair catches, so why not a few short passes? Gray himself has even said he'd like to play receiver. If he stays on the team, he can continue the role of backup quarterback, but see time on the field as a receiver.
