SMU Mustangs quarterback Preston Stone committed to the Northwestern Wildcats out of the transfer portal on Saturday afternoon, according to Pete Nakos of On3.
Stone, who was a third-team All-AAC selection in 2023, ceded his starting quarterback job to Kevin Jennings in September, and sat behind him all season. A transfer was inevitable after Mustangs coach Rhett Lashlee turned to Jennings permanently. Stone announced his intention to transfer on Dec. 10, and news of his commitment to Northwestern broke within an hour of the Mustangs' loss to Penn State on Saturday in the first-round of the College Football Playoff.
