Former Oregon QB Jay Butterfield transfers to San Jose State

Former Oregon backup quarterback Jay Butterfield entered the transfer portal once the regular season ended, and he has found a new home.

The 6-foot-6, 220-pounder from Brentwood, California, announced via Twitter that he will play for San Jose State next season. It’s a good landing spot for Butterfield: He will get a chance to see the field, a chance he never truly had in Eugene.

Once a top-five pro-style quarterback out of high school, Butterfield came to Oregon at the same time as Ty Thompson, but Thompson became the primary backup for first Anthony Brown and then Bo Nix last season.

Butterfield had a really good spring game performance in April. He went 16-of-26 passing for 213 yards with a touchdown and an interception. For his career, Butterfield completed three passes in four attempts for 23 yards.
