Billy Wiles News, Rumors, Updates - Appalachian State Mountaineers | FOX Sports

Leaving Southern Miss Wiles has entered the NCAA transfer portal, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Wiles will seek out opportunities in the portal this offseason after spending one season with the Golden Eagles. The 6-foot-3 redshirt sophomore quarterback, who started his career with Clemson, threw for 1,934 yards (160-of-298), 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions across 11 games in 2023, adding on one score with his legs. Wiles, who was set to compete with incoming FSU transfer Tate Rodemaker for the starting job under center, will instead look for a starting role elsewhere this offseason.

Impact Ethan Crawford started under center for Southern Miss after he and Wiles were listed as co-starters. With the Golden Eagles ineligible for a bowl game, Wiles' sophomore campaign will come to an end. Over 11 appearances, Wiles threw for 1,934 yards with an 11:7 TD:INT.

Impact Wiles was benched in favor of Holmen Edwards during Week 8 but resumed starting duties Saturday.

Gets start Saturday Wiles is starting Saturday's game against Appalachian State, Scott Watkins of the Sun Herald reports.

Impact Wiles' status as the starter was unclear leading up to the game after a lackluster showing last week, but it appears he'll get another look under center after Holman Edwards wasn't much better. Wiles as completed just 52.7 percent of his 207 pass attempts on the year for 1,259 yards and a 7:5 TD:INT ratio.

Status uncertain for Saturday Wiles may not start Saturday at Appalachian State due to performance, Sam Sklar of the Hattiesburg American reports.

Impact Wiles was benched last Tuesday after a rough start to the game and now head coach Will Hall said he is "looking at all options" in regards to the position. Wiles won a quarterback competition over Holman Edwards before the season, but has not played very well as the starter. He has completed just over 50 percent of his passes for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns and five interceptions this season. The Golden Eagles now sit at 1-6 on the season and have not scored an offensive touchdown in two straight games, so it is not a surprise the coaching staff is looking at a change at quarterback. While nothing is set in stone, Wiles' job is certainly in jeopardy.

Benched after rough start Wiles completed 2 of 5 passes for five yards during Tuesday's 55-3 loss against South Alabama.

Impact Wiles' day was cut off after three drives -- two of which were three-and-outs -- and he managed to account for merely five yards before being benched in favor of Holman Edwards. While Edwards also fared poorly against South Alabama, USM's willingness to make a change at quarterback makes Wiles' role uncertain moving forward.
