Holy Cross quarterback Matthew Sluka has entered the transfer portal.

In 2023, the team captain totaled 1,728 passing yards, 20 passing touchdowns and five interceptions - along with 1,247 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns - to lead Holy Cross to a 7-4 record and 5-1 Patriot League record. The First-Team All-Patriot League passer landed All-Patriot League honors for the third straight season in 2023.

In 2022, Sluka earned several honors, including team MVP, First-Team All-Patriot League, Walter Payton Award Finalist and All New England. As a junior, through 13 games started, Sluka posted 2,489 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, four interceptions, 1,234 rushing yards, and 11 rushing touchdowns. Holy Cross finished 12-1, including 6-0 in conference play, falling to #1 South Dakota State in the NCAA Quarterfinals.

Now, the quarterback will test the transfer portal, and will be a graduate transfer wherever he lands. The dual-threat is likely to garner a lot of attention in the coming weeks.

Sluka's highlights: 2023 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year. Two-Time Walter Payton Award Finalist (2022, 2023). 4,217 passing yards, 2,481 rushing yards, and 66 combined touchdowns.
