Two grad transfer QBs hit the market

Excerpts:
Shirreffs, who just finished his redshirt sophomore season with the Hurricanes but finished his undergraduate degree at the university, served as Miami’s backup for the entire season behind starter Malik Rosier. He played in three games — against Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina and Pittsburgh — completing 2 of 7 passes for 16 yards.

Shirreffs, a former three-star prospect out of Jefferson, Georgia, committed to the Hurricanes in February 2015, eight months before Al Golden was fired.

The 6-foot-5, 216-pound quarterback did not see the field during his true freshman season in 2015 and played in one series of the 2016 season opener against Florida A&M as a redshirt freshman. And then he attempted just those seven pass attempts in Year 3, which will be his final year at Miami as he pursues playing time elsewhere.

Excerpts:
Dormady entered the preseason competing with Jarrett Guarantano for the starting quarterback spot, ultimately winning the battle and starting the first five games of the season.

He threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns on 20 of 37 passing in UT's season-opening win against Georgia Tech. He and Guarantano split time the following week against Indiana State before Dormady threw for 259 yards and a touchdown with three interceptions in a loss at Florida. Dormady started the following week against UMass, but was pulled in the second half in favor of Guarantano before returning to finish the game. His final start came against Georgia, as he was benched after throwing two interceptions and completing fewer than a third of his passes.

Guarantano was named the starter before Tennessee played South Carolina on Oct. 14.and Dormady was reportedly left contemplating his future with the program.
Dormady elected to have season-ending shoulder surgery in late October to address an injury that former Tennessee coach Butch Jones said "had been bothering him for quite some time."

The Boerne, Texas, native completed 55.5 percent of his passes for 925 yards with six touchdowns and six interceptions in 2017. As a backup in 2015 and 2016, Dormady attempted 39 passes in 11 appearances behind Josh Dobbs.
