He led the FCS in passing yards (3,614) and touchdowns (36) in 15 games at Albany, guiding the Great Danes (11-4) to the FCS semifinals.
A former walk-on, Poffenbarger announced on Dec. 20 that he was entering the transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining.
"Albany will forever have a place in my heart and we did a lot of special things," Poffenbarger told ESPN. "At the end of the day, I thought it was time to move on and put myself in the best position to compete for a national championship and one day play in the NFL."
The 6-foot-1, 215-pound Maryland native will join a quarterback competition with Hurricanes sophomore Jacurri Brown and freshman Emory Williams.
