I enjoyed watching him. It seems odd that he transferring. I wonder what is going on. How much of his success has to do with Kingsbury? -

Starting quarterback Baker Mayfield will seek a transfer from Texas Tech.
Mayfield called Kliff Kingsbury on Tuesday, then met with the coach in person Wednesday, reaffirming Kingsbury of his decision to transfer, a source confirmed to ESPN.com.

QB Baker Mayfield finished with 2,315 yards passing, 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions in eight starts for Texas Tech this season.
On Wednesday night, Mayfield told YNN-TV in his hometown of Austin, Texas, that he would seek a transfer due to a "miscommunication" with the Texas Tech coaching staff.
Even though Mayfield is a walk-on, NCAA rules state he still needs to get a release from Texas Tech to transfer to another school. Kingsbury had said previously the Red Raiders intended to put Mayfield on scholarship as soon as one came available after the season.
Mayfield won't be allowed to transfer to another Big 12 school, a source told ESPN's Joe Schad.

Leach was first to offer a scholly last year, but it was pulled when we got a better commit. Would love to see him transfer here (though he won't), but he was clearly the best QB on the Texas Tech team last season.Comment
