Multi-Transfer QBs to lead teams to national championships?

While there have been numerous QBs who transferred once and won a championship, I asked Google's AI if any two-time transfers had led their team to a championship.
The answer was yes, technically.
Stetson Bennett transferred from UGA to Jones and then back to UGA.
Any other examples?
Notable Connection: No starter has won a championship after transferring three times, but JT Daniel does have a ring as a backup for UGA.

The answer is yes, by every measure. Cam Newton.

Cool. I had forgotten about his Blinn time, and Google missed it as well.

Transferring to a JUCO to avoid having to sit out a year used to be much more common; so, there may be several more such examples.
In the age of the portal, have there been any direct, multi-FBS transfers that have won championships?

I don't think so...
I think you will usually see a team build up to become a contender, and then that team goes and lands a qb in the portal for their run. So the targeted qb has done something to attract attention, then moves to a power team for his shot.
I don't think you will see guys hop too much at the lower tier and still impress the big boys, and I don't think you will see many that move up once risk it again.

That said, it's different now... take LSU.
They signed Husan Longstreet, a 5 star redshirt freshman, away from USC. *Move #1
He's behind Sam Leavitt, who is a junior that currently doesn't look like a 1st rd pick. Leavitt probably returns next year.
But he apparently is also behind Landen Clark, another transfer, sophomore, who looks like Leavitt running the ball, and maybe a better arm, from Elon.
Longstreet may well do that 2nd transfer to a P4 contender, if he stays buried on the depth chart
