This would be a significant addition. These big name transfers typically seem to underperform expectations a bit in the MAC. It will interesting to see how this guy and the guy at CMU perform.

I remember how another Bowers did at Ohio, Brad Bowers, not what was expected.

Or how about former Michigan QB Shane Morris at Central Michigan? He was a 4/5-star recruit who got playing time at Michigan but was just a good, far from great, QB for the Chippewas. These kinds of transfers hardly ever turn out to be as good as some expect. But for Northern Illinois, to have any kind of passing threat would be an improvement.

Bowers started and performed at a high level before his injury, Shane Morris was a bench warmer. I hope he is just ok next year.
Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach. Woody Hayes

I thought Shane Morris was actually decent (not great) at CMU. I think you are thinking of the bench warmer from Fiami. I don't remember that guy's name, but I had expected him to push Ragland a little more. Ely at Toledo was an impressive transfer and looked good--however, Woodside made him easy to forget.
Bower couldn't unseat Everson and played even with Theo Scott. I think more was expected of him after starting at Illinois.

Then there was Alex Malzone who transferred to Miami last year. His stats for last year were 0-4 passing, no rushes. Of course, he has another year, and he might have a good season this fall, so it's a little early to make a final determination on the success of his transfer.

Bower played well, but he seemed to have a weakness picking up linebackers underneath in zone coverage, and threw far too many easy picks. In two seasons at Ohio he threw 12 TDs, but 17 interceptions. Everson's ratio was actually worse, at 15 TDs and 24 interceptions, but I don't remember his being thrown directly to defensive players.

Bowers ended his career with 12 TD’s and 17 INT’s and was a 55% completion % guy.

Exactly. It was just the passes where he simply didn't see the LB underneath and threw it right to him that drove people crazy.

It looks like this thing will become official soon, Erin Collins a former nc state running back will also transfer to niu. https://www.daily-chronicle.com/lists/2019/04/01/38e8d2d5...

18 TDs and 12 INTs, with a 59% completion percentage. Still not great but he did throw for over 3,000 yards, and he played against 4 ranked teams. And I believe he had an injury in his first game in 2018 so missed the rest of the year. So he would have 2 years to play if he gets his medical redshirt. They changed the offense to more of a running attack so he didn't really fit in anymore at Cal.
Though the point remains, most of the transfer QBs haven't done that well. We have kind of a low bar though, after the past couple years.
