Luke Altmyer thanked Ole Miss on Monday, but the quarterback also announced his intention to enter the transfer portal.
Altmyer, a sophomore from Starkville, Mississippi, said he loved his teammates, coaches and the Oxford community. Coming out of high school, Altmyer was rated as a 4-star prospect and was a top-5 player in the state of Mississippi by 247Sports.
He appeared in 3 games this season and was 8-for-17 passing for 125 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Much of that came against Central Arkansas when he was 6-of-13 passing for 90 yards and 2 touchdowns and he ran for a third score in the game. He was intercepted once.
Although he started that game, Altmyer suffered an upper-body injury and left the game.
Altmyer and Jaxson Dart competed for the starting job up until the start of the regular season.
