Cole Leinart is headed out from Mater Dei, as the son of former Heisman winner Matt Leinart has undertaken a rare mid-season transfer.<\/p>\n
According to a report from the Los Angeles Times<\/a>, Leinart is headed to Newport Harbor (Newport Beach, California). The class of 2026 quarterback has seen limited action so far this season while at Mater Dei (Santa Ana, California).<\/p>\n Mater Dei is the top team in the USA TODAY HSS Super 25.<\/a><\/p>\n In two games this season, Leinart was 2-of-3 for 10 yards and a touchdown. In 2022 as a freshman, he saw limited action, appearing in seven games. Newport is currently 2-3 on the season.<\/p>\n Two of their three losses this year have been by a combined four points.<\/a><\/p>\n The reason for the transfer, according to Eric Sondheimer of the Los Angeles Times, could well be because of a potential incoming transfer quarterback for Mater Dei next season that could make for a very crowded quarterback room.<\/p>\n Julian Lewis, a USC<\/a> commit from Georgia, could be headed to Mater Dei next year according to Sondheimer. Lewis is a four-star quarterback.<\/a><\/p>\n
