The redshirt junior decided to leave Kentucky after just one season once Will Levis was named the team's starting quarterback for the 2021 season. Gatewood is still expected to hold a backup role with the Knights behind Dillon Gabriel. Gus Malzahn has publicly stated he thinks Gatewood is extremely talented and can provide value to the team, suggesting he may have a plan to get him involved in the offense in some fashion.

After being granted a waiver to compete for the Wildcats last fall, Gatewood served as the understudy to Terry Wilson and completed 17 of 35 attempts for 109 yards and an interception while adding 62 yards on the ground. Heading into his redshirt junior campaign, Gatewood was in competition with Penn State transfer Will Levis for the starting job, and the former ultimately elected to explore his options elsewhere when Levis was named the No. 1 option. Gatewood still has two years of eligibility remaining, but since he already used his one-time waiver, he won't be able to compete in 2021 if he lands at another school.

Now that Levis was officially given the starting job, the Auburn transfer will likely be looking for a new program for the second time in as many years. He's completed 22-of-43 passes for 163 yards with another 238 rushing yards in 14 career appearances. If Gatewood officially enters the portal, Beau Allen would stake his claim as Levis' backup.
