Air Noland - Competing to be QB1 Noland is competing against Marcus Stokes to be Memphis' starting quarterback, according to Jonah Dylan of The Commercial Appeal via the G5 Hive podcast.

Impact After the 2025 FBS season, Noland transferred from South Carolina to Memphis, presumably to log a better chance for opportunities in the highest division of college football, albeit for a less well-known program. Compared to Stokes, a Division II veteran, Noland has at least a little experience with the best competition, having logged two completed passes and a rushing attempt against fellow FBS side Coastal Carolina.

Dallan Hayden - Memphis home for senior season Hayden will enroll at Memphis for his 2026 season, according to his announcement Sunday.

Impact During the Colorado team's 2025 season, Hayden logged 326 rushing yards. Ideally for him, transferring to a non-P4 college is how he maximizes his last year's FBS stats. The running back may be Memphis' new RB1, especially because neither Sutton Smith (transfer portal) nor Greg Desrosiers (senior) will re-enroll there. Hayden also has top-rusher experience, considering that Ohio State's 2022 season includes his 111 rushing attempts for 553 yards and five touchdowns.
