Brings up the question... who has been the most successful graduate transfer out of the program?

Young as you mentioned was hardly used at Boise State
Reihner was mostly a special teams guy at Penn State
Patrick Skov was used as a fullback at Ga Tech, where he started 8 games and played in 11. However, his stats were very meh and his touches went down as the season progressed.  He had 93 rushes for 377 yards in 11 games, but tied for the team lead in rushing touchdowns with 6, and added two more touchdown catches.
Lyons as CTCard found did not find much playing time at Michigan
Dudchock had 17 receptions for 261 yards and a touchdown at Vanderbilt
Hopkins started 11 out of 12 games for Virginia, but had 11 catches for 90 yards and two TDs

Overall, none of our graduate outbound transfers became stars.  I'd say Skov probably had the best graduate transfer career.  But even though we have only taken one graduate transfer in (Brennan Scarlett), he had a bigger impact on our 2015 than any of the guys who transferred out.

BC

Would agree on Skov from a statistical perspective. Honorable mention would probably go to Dudchock, who I'm sure did plenty of dirty work up front in addition to his catches (Vandy uses TE's frequently).

And IMO it's not too surprising none of our outbound grad transfers "became stars" - these were mostly guys who weren't stars at Stanford, and generally didn't see the field too much for us (with a couple exceptions). So when they transfer to another P5 school it shouldn't be too much of a shock that they don't suddenly blossom in a single year, especially if the school is on a similar talent level that we are.

Will be very interesting to follow Alexander, Chryst, and Tucker this coming year.
