On a Saturday in September 2023, Hutchinson Community College beat Coffeyville 37-7 in Kansas. A freshman named Tre Richardson returned two punts for touchdowns. A receiver named Oran Singleton Jr. caught one.

Last Saturday, Nov. 7, they scored five touchdowns between them. Richardson had two for Louisville in a 44-17 win at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Singleton had three for Tulsa, with career highs in catches and yards, in a 60-10 win at Tulane in New Orleans.

Three transfer quarterbacks had weeks of their own. On Thursday, Florida Atlantic scored 60 points on a UTSA team that had not lost a conference game. On Friday, Illinois beat Nebraska to become bowl eligible. On Saturday, No. 3 Utah beat No. 7 BYU 28-20. One of those quarterbacks followed the coach who first recruited him, three seasons later. One is on his third campus. One came from Phoenix by way of New Mexico and ended Utah's three-game losing streak to BYU with his arm, his legs and one catch.

Last week The Ledger followed Week 9's biggest finishes, and the five transfers behind them. Week 10 had five more roads.

Week 10: Two touchdowns in a 44-17 win at Georgia Tech: an 8-yard catch and a 52-yard run on an end-around.

Road: Highland Park High in Topeka, Kansas; Hutchinson Community College, 2023; Washburn, 2024; Vanderbilt, 2025; Louisville, 2026.

Richardson played four sports at Highland Park and won state titles in the 100 meters and the long jump. He chose Hutchinson, a junior college, to stay close to home, and was a first-team junior college All-American as a return specialist. He spent 2024 at Washburn, a Division II program in Topeka, where he caught 52 passes and scored 11 touchdowns. A year later he was at Vanderbilt, with 46 catches for 806 yards. Louisville is his fourth campus in four seasons.

"I felt good," he said of the 52-yard run. "I felt like I got to show my speed out there."

Week 10: 13 catches for 177 yards and three touchdowns, all career highs, in a 60-10 win at Tulane.

Road: Clewiston High in Clewiston, Florida; Akron, 2021; Hutchinson Community College, 2023; Eastern Michigan, 2024; West Virginia, 2025; Tulsa, 2026.

Singleton played nine games at Akron as a freshman in 2021. He did not play football in 2022. He started over at Hutchinson in 2023, on the same roster as Richardson, and led the team in catches and touchdown receptions. He led Eastern Michigan in catches in 2024, with 64. At West Virginia in 2025 he played four games and caught four passes.

Tulsa is his fifth program. Through nine games there he has 56 catches for 712 yards and seven touchdowns.

Baylor Hayes threw four touchdown passes on Saturday. Three of them went to Singleton.

The week's other three roads belong to quarterbacks.

Week 10: Two touchdown passes, two touchdown runs and a 29-yard reception in a 28-20 win over No. 7 BYU. He threw for 177 yards and ran for 89.

Road: Phoenix, Arizona; New Mexico, 2023 to 2024; Utah, 2025 to 2026.

Dampier started 13 games at New Mexico and in 2024 became the first quarterback in that program's history named first-team all-conference. He transferred to Utah after that season. "I understand the significance of this game," he said before his first game against BYU, in October 2025. Utah lost that one, 24-21. He came back for a second season.

On Saturday he scored on a 22-yard run, threw two touchdown passes to Braden Pegan, and put Utah up for good on a 3-yard run with 12:03 left. In between, he caught a pass. "I told Creed to throw it regardless," he said of receiver Creed Whittemore. "I don't care if there's two people on me. Throw it."

"He's a competitor. He's a warrior," head coach Morgan Scalley said. "He wins us football games." Utah is 9-0.

Week 10: 22 of 36 for 292 yards and three touchdowns in a 24-13 win over Nebraska on Friday that made Illinois bowl eligible.

Road: Liberty High in Henderson, Nevada, and St. John Bosco High in Bellflower, California; Michigan State, 2022 to 2023; East Carolina, 2024 to 2025; Illinois, 2026.

Houser started seven games at Michigan State in 2023, then moved to East Carolina. He began 2024 there as the backup, took over the job in October and won five of his seven starts, the last of them a bowl game. In 2025 he started every game and threw for 3,300 yards. He signed with Illinois in January, back in the conference where he started.

The win was Illinois's fourth straight.

Week 10: 17 of 25 for 210 yards and four touchdowns in a 60-29 win over UTSA on Thursday that made Florida Atlantic bowl eligible.

Road: South Warren High in Bowling Green, Kentucky; Western Kentucky, 2022 to 2024; Florida Atlantic, 2025 to 2026.

Zach Kittley recruited Veltkamp to Western Kentucky as its offensive coordinator, then left for another job before Veltkamp enrolled. Veltkamp stayed in his hometown for three seasons. His first real action came off the bench in a 2023 bowl game with his team down 28 points; he threw for 383 yards and five touchdowns, and Western Kentucky won 38-35 in overtime. In 2024 he was his conference's offensive player of the year.

When Kittley became Florida Atlantic's head coach, Veltkamp followed, and receiver Easton Messer came with him. "The opportunity to come back and actually get to play for him was something I really couldn't pass up," Veltkamp said in January 2025.

Three of his four touchdown passes on Thursday went to Messer.

Richardson and Singleton left the same junior college in 2023, and each needed three more stops to get to last Saturday. Dampier stayed for a second try at BYU. Houser came back to the Big Ten. Veltkamp got to play for the coach who recruited him, three seasons later. All five won in Week 10.
