Seeing a move up the depth chart as unlikely, Jake Luton has decided to ply his football wares elsewhere.
On Twitter recently, Luton announced that he had decided to transfer out of the Idaho football program. “First and foremost I want to thank my coaches and advisors that helped me throughout my time at Idaho,” the quarterback wrote, adding, “I’m looking forward to tackling any obstacles the future may hold!”
Luton had served as the Vandals’ No. 1 quarterback in the spring, but that was only because the returning starter at the position, Matt Linehan, was recovering from offseason foot surgery.

Luton took a redshirt as a true freshman in 2014, then played in six games last season. He started one game in 2015 as a replacement for the injured Linehan.
In those games, Luton completed 49-of-78 passes for 383 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. He also scored five rushing touchdowns.
