A highly-regarded quarterback recruit, Bo Polston, has made a surprising decision to commit to Toledo over offers from Georgia and Michigan. Polston, a four-star recruit in the class of 2026 according to Rivals, announced his decision on Monday, opting for Toledo despite interest from several Power 5 schools.

Kyle Rowland of the Toledo Blade highlighted that Polston also made a visit to Notre Dame last season. Additionally, he received offers from Washington, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Cal, and Indiana. This decision might be one of the ripple effects of the transfer portal’s impact on college football. Polston can begin his career at Toledo, where he’s likely to receive significant playing time immediately. If he performs well, he could draw interest from Power 5 schools and transfer without limitations. It’s worth noting that this commitment is verbal, and there’s still a considerable amount of time before signing day.
Georgia has experienced several instances of five-star quarterbacks transferring to other programs in recent years. It’s possible that Polston wanted to avoid a similar situation and chose Toledo for a more secure path to playing time and development.
