FBS to FCS Transfers

[GManFromTigerland]

In recent years more and more FBS players are transferring to FCS schools. Some have got in trouble and are looking for a second chance, some are looking for immediate playing time, some feel the FCS is where they should have done initially. What ever the case is, they are transferring. What are current big FBS to FCS transfers that you know about?

[GManFromTigerland]

Tony Upchurch is a 4 star receiver transferring from LSU to Texas Southern University in the SWAC. http://collegespun.com/sec/lsu/former-4-star-wide-receiver-tony-upchurch-to-transfer-from-lsu

[GManFromTigerland]

Devante Kincade transferred from Ole Miss to Grambling. He was originally rated a 4 star QB by ESPN. A member of the ESPN 300 ... MVP of the 2012 Dallas Elite 11 regional camp and one of 25 finalists for the national Elite 11 camp. http://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/college/ole-miss/2015/12/07/ole-miss-quarterback-devante-kincade-transfer/76961838/

SHSU's starting QB (Jeremiah Briscoe) this year is a transfer from UAB. But his situation is different. UAB shut their football program down (temporarily). Our top running back (Corey Avery) transferred from Kansas.

[JSUSoutherner]

Well at JSU we have quite a few FBS transfers. So I'll highlight a couple of the ones that stood out for me.

He's playing running back for us. Word on the street is he's pretty good. Unfortunately for us he had an ACL injury during spring practice. Unfortunately for everyone else he should be back in time for the fall.

We are currently waiting on word from the NCAA on his eligibility. He should be receiving a medical redshirt for last season.

[UAalum72]

Albany LB Skylor Clinton redshirted his 2015 freshman year at Wyoming, transferred midyear.

[McNeese72]

No new transfers at McNeese so far. But, we could use a couple of decent offensive linemen ;)

A bit off topic, but Columbia's QB Morhinweg will have 2006 Payton Award winner Ricky Santos (UNH) as his QB Coach during the 2016 season.

Dude... As we all know, it's "only" these FBS transfers that makes JSU successful. What would we ever do without them???

By the way, you left off:

BJ Hammond - **** TE from Miss State
Jonathan Curry - *** RB from Purdue
Mike Bernier - **** P (oooops!!! He's from FCS Eastern Ill)
Kevin Spears - **** WR from LSU

Of all the guys signed to come play at JSU, including walk-ons, we have 19 of the 32 from HS. The rest are FBS, FCS, or JUCO transfers....

Let me once again tell all the Bison fans who claim they don't have to go out and search for FBS transfers....
1. Good for you
2. You don't compete against Alabama, Auburn, or any other SEC school for recruits.... You have...............Minnesota
3. You are the Alabama of North Dakota
4. JSU doesn't search recruits. Recruits search for a winning program closer to where their family is, where they grew up, or where they can stay in the south and be effective immediately.

Now.... I am a huge Wentz fan and am very respectful of what NDSU has done with their program. I wish nothing but the best for those guys! Great fans as well!

[bjtheflamesfan]

Haven't seen any for Liberty (Libertine may be more clued in on that though) but Ive often opined that expectations should be tempered for any FBS transfer because for every awesome one (like Rashad Jennings or Walt Aikens for the Flames), you get a dog or two (Paul Troth...oy...) or get a guy who is a solid contributor but isn't a complete game changer.

[underdawg]

This year is quite a bit different for the SIU Salukis---only one real good FBS transfer--Linebacker Kyran Watson (6' 235--Kansas) but I think our impact Transfer will be a senior transfer QB from a D-2. Josh Staughan (6-3, 210)who was under recruited out of high school because his team played Washington State 8-man Football (threw for 10,000 yards). Was a D-2 Pre-season All-American before getting hurt in 2015 preseason. He looks very, very good with a tremendous arm and, better yet, the scrambling ability to escape blitzes and deliver the ball on the money.

You don't get to talk about Paul Troth. You were still in your third freshman year then and Paul Troth could have thrown you through the uprights. Without going into specifics, Paul Troth and Brock Farrel shared a position group that year and those guys are two of the most perseverant and patient men I've ever met.

Errrm...

Green averaged 3.3 yards per carry last year
3.3 yards per carry as a freshman
5.7 as a sophomore though....

Which one of these things isn't like the other.

He didn't even dress the final 3 games of last season and didn't travel with the team to the Citrus Bowl.

And Marshawn Lynch only rushed for 164 yards his last season with the Bills. Then transferred. Then got nicknamed Beast Mode.

Either way, a couple hours after I posted that a new article came out saying Rivals jumped the gun and Green currently wasn't planning a visit.

Even without him we will still be set at RB. Josh Clemons has already been cleared to return next season.

You just compared Green to Lynch

Remember Lynch went for 1,100 and 1,050 and the 800 his first three years in the league.

He was arrested on gun charges plus a few other legal issues.

He suffered an ankle injury in preseason and combined with his legal issues Buffalo decided to to trade him after week four. So if by last season you mean 4 games on a bum leg, you've got a point. He finally got healthy and ran for about 709 yards the rest of that season splitting time with Justin Forsett and had his beast quake run in those playoffs.

Holy ****. That. Just. Wow. That comparison. I mean.

I know, I know, extreme example. My point is that we don't know how well he would do after a move. I'm not saying he's like Lynch in that he's a total monster. He was just the only one off the top of my head I could think of to illustate my point of moving to a new home can be beneficial.

FBS to FCS transfers is an interesting thing to track, but Ive always kept a wary eye when I see posters talking about a 3 star or 4 star or 2 star recruit or what have you. For every FBS transfer that ends up a superstar or All-American, you get a lot of solid contributors and more than a few busts as well. Im hoping that all these schools have measured expectations for these players when they actually suit up for their new school this summer and fall.

I'm continually amazed at how many FCS programs just sit there and wait for castoffs. I mean, I get having some but FBS transfers gets to a full starting line up on offense or defense it's too many.

UNI has 5
QB Aaron Bailey - Illinois - 2nd year at UNI
DT Bryce Douglas - Illinois - 2nd year at UNI
I think both were a result of the coaching situation the last few years
WR Dalton Ferch - Iowa State - recruited by UNI out of HS, from just over an hour SW of Cedar Falls and has younger brother on the team - 2nd year at UNI
LB Barkely Hill - Iowa - recruited by UNI out of HS, from Cedar Falls, played his home HS games in the Dome. - 3rd year at UNI
LB Clint Heaven - North Carolina - new this year...no idea how he ended up here. No one seems to have an answer. Apparently was a top rated safety coming out of HS?

A couple JUCOs
WR Brandon Smith - North Dakota State School of Sciences - from Lee's Summit, MO which is a hot bed for UNI recruits. Had HS teammates on the roster when he came in
DB DJ Robinson - Iowa Central - from Des Moines and was invited to walk on as a freshman but went JUCO
RB Wes Burnside - Iowa Central - Played HS ball 30 minutes from the dome and was invited to walk on as a freshman

Frazier has had some pretty good success. I'm glad he came to NDSU. I understand that we recruited him while he was in HS too, so there is some extra connection.

I'm all for NDSU picking up a transfer here and there. Having 2 or 3 on the roster to shore up weak spots is no problem at all.

We had 5 transfers last season, 1 JUCO, 2 from DII, 1 from NAIA, and 1 from the FBS.

From GJS.

"I had a coach from Oxford come by last year late on night at tailgate. He was walking by and sat down to watch whatever late game we were watching. He brought up out of nowhere that Roc would play for Grass next year and he would live with Carson. Seemed far fetched at the time. The guy told me then that Grass was telling him to stay at AU, but Roc said that AU was a train wreck and he wanted to leave. This guy told me Roc would go through Spring at Auburn and transfer during Summer workouts. Didn't think much about it at the time."

He's not wrong. Auburn is going to hell in a handbasket pretty quick. Roc is the second big departure for Auburn in two days. Tim Irvin (Michael Irvin's nephew) announced his transfer from AU as well yesterday.

My guess is we put Roc in the slot.

Reminds me of a road trip story to your place a few years back. We've gone to your place so many times recently, I can't remember which year. ;)

Our University President at the time, the late Dr. Robert Hebert, and some members of his family were sitting with the McNeese fans on the east side of your stadium with the UCA students further down.

The UCA students started up a "UCA Bears" cheer. It sounded like, "You see, Heberts?" to our fans. So our fans around the Heberts stood up and everytime the students they did the cheer, the McNeese fans would point at the Heberts and holler, "They are right here!". ;)

Maybe the students were making a play on words there. UCA had a RB named Spencer Herbert (also a frat guy) and the kid was a beast. Sadly he only had 29 attempts in his career at UCA. Not sure if he transferred out to another school or just quit football. 2007 he had 11 rushes for 3 TDS but it wasn't the stats that made the fans love his play. It was the way he hit the line that sent fans into a frenzy. He would run full speed at it and just destroy the defense, step on their faces, crush their ribs, and blow them completely backwards. Now he wasn't going to outrun anyone past the line in a 40 yard sprint but dear lord don't step in front of him at the line. He looked like that scene in the longest yard where the guy gets picked up and slammed like a rag doll. Plus he did most of his damage in 2008, Nathan Brown's senior year. We played you the first game of the season and won 47-30. Maybe it was that game.

Transfers are a hit and a miss. Some of them are good and some of them are busts.
Just like high school or JC recruits. Most are leaving the previous school because of playing time.

Transfers get a bad rap on attitude/discipline/character but its normally goes back to PT. Players who are not playing enough to satisfy them are sometime problems to a team, but if the PT is sufficient then the player becomes a good team mate.

Typically they don't play because of attitude issues, or they weren't good enough to see the field.

It's why very few transfers actually make any real impact at the FCS level. Come here thinking they can dominate because "I was a P5 recruit and they didn't give me a shot" while ignoring maybe they aren't that good....and their attitude holds them back.

I wasn't putting him down as an individual or for your team choosing to take him..we all take transfers. Just that whoever is coaching and recruiting the Oline at OSU is making very poor choices. Like I said I hope he works for you, I mean he must have been talented at some point to be taken by an FBS school.

Sometimes a player may have been over recruited in high school just like a great Fcs player could've been under recruited. Sometimes they don't pan out like the coaches hope they would've.
JMU national championship QB Justin rascati was a Louisville transfer. Joe flacco at ud took them to the title game and then won a Super Bowl with the Ravens. He transferred from Pitt I believe. The great towson o-line that got them to the 2013 title game had many UMD transfers on it.

[underdawg]

I'd guess NO more initial FBS to FCS transfers are discipline problems than initial FCS signers (high school) are---If you are an FCS coach (or any level of coach) you do what SIU's Coach Hill does--talk to both the potential transfer's high school coach, his FBS coach and those who know what the character of the kid is like before you sign him--- People who categorize FBS to FCS transfers as all trouble makers are frickin idiots who don't know what the frick they are talking about

[katstrapper]

Who cares if an FCS program is taking several transfers to fill open positions. The players still have to compete, practice and prove they are ready for the opportunity to play. Sam Houston gets a lot of kids that go sign with FBS programs out of high school, only to find themselves sitting on the bench . Many of these kids were recruited by FCS programs in the SLC. The kids are going to transfer somewhere to play and continue their college educations, so why not have them at Sam Houston St if they are good enough and fit the system.

Here are the current FBS players on the roster...

RB Corey Avery......... ( Kansas)
QB Jeremiah Briscoe ... ( UAB )
OL Sam Hardy ........... ( Wyoming )
OL Tyler Tezeno ....... (West Virginia)
OL Curtis Riser .......... ( Texas )

I agree kat.

Not every 3/4 star FBS transfer is what everyone thought they would be in the 1st place.
A player transferring out of an FBS school usually is because they couldn't compete for time at the FBS level.

The player wants to play & go to an FCS school so be it.

Nova brings in FBS players from time to time. Most are solid, but not game changing players.

That's not how it works. In most cases, a sixth year is not granted if a student-athlete has already used a redshirt year. The only instances where sixth years are granted is when it can be documented that more than one year has been lost due to injury. If only one year is lost due to injury, the sixth year is typically not granted. That's not to say there haven't been instances of gray area where kids were granted 6th years on appeals but it's not common.

My guess this kid will have 3 yrs of eligibility unless they come up with an injury as to the reason he missed 2014. Otherwise, 2014 is a redshirt which is considered "voluntary."

Then the missed 2014 season was due to injury or some other hardship and not a voluntary redshirt. Either that or the news story assumption he has four years is incorrect. The NCAA will make that determination.

He said he "normally redshirted" in 2014, which is considered voluntary, and a medical hardship in 2015. Unless he was wrong about 2014 being a redshirt or he misses another year due to injury, he'll have 3 yrs left.

The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school.(This does not provide for players who are already redshirting a season and are injured in practice.)
The injury must be incapacitating. That means it must be a season-ending injury.
The injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of the season.
The student-athlete must not have competed in more than 30% of the season or three contests, whichever is greater.

All of these must be proven with documentation. That means medical documentation to prove the injury and that it was season-ending and participation information to show that the student-athlete did not play in too many contests.

He said he "normally redshirted" in 2014, which is considered voluntary, and a medical hardship in 2015. Unless he was wrong about 2014 being a redshirt or he misses another year due to injury, he'll have 3 yrs left.
I'm going to break this down for you because I'm a nice guy.

The NCAA gives 5 years to compete in 4 seasons with the 5 year being an optional redshirt year.
There are also special circumstances where you can apply to the NCAA for a sixth year to complete your 4 seasons if you have a season ending injury, like an ACL.

So in the case of Davidson:

He normally redshirted in 2014. Just a normal redshirt. He wasn't injured. He just redshirted.

In the preseason camps of 2015 he tore his ACL causing him to miss ALL of 2015. For this injury the NCAA granted him a medical redshirt (medical hardship waiver) for the season, effectively granting him one extra year and giving him 6 years overall to complete his four seasons.

He comes to JSU with 4 years of eligibility remaining.

This happens all the time. We did it with Josh Clemmons this year. We tried to do it with LaMichael Fanning and he would have been granted a 6th year for his ACL injury last year but he didn't get his paperwork in on time.

The now 21-year-old redshirted during his 2014 freshman season before suffering a torn knee ligament in late August of this past year (2015), forcing him to miss every game.

Let me break this down for you.

You get 5 years to complete 4
By voluntarily red-shirting you are still using one of those 5 years when you could still be playing.
You aren't missing a year because of injury
You still only get 5 years to play 4
You used volunteered to sit for one of your 5 years so you get 4 years to play 4 moving forward
You don't get a medical hardship to get a 6th year in this case should you suffer an injury simply because you've already decided to sit out a year of your 5

NOW HOW TO GET A MEDICAL
Before you step foot on campus (or while on campus but very early in a season) you suffer a season ending injury you are deemed to have lost a season due to medical hardship
You can apply to get that season back...but it has to happen twice because otherwise it's still part of your 5 years to play 4

let me repeat that...

You must lose two years due to injury to get a 6th year because in that situation you aren't deciding to voluntarily use one of your 5 years just to not play

If you are getting medical years from people in situation one your entire athletic department - player, coaches, trainers, compliance directors, and athletic director, are all lying and forging paperwork to the conference and NCAA.

Ok. So where is the screw up in his case? Did he not really exist in 2014? Was our recruiting coordinator wrong and all of the articles wrong and he only has 3 years instead of four? Because math is not adding up right now. What am I missing?

[clenz]

Based on how medical redshirts actually work I'm guessing someone at JSU screwed up or someone is creating a paper trail after the fact of injuries and is making the assumption it will be granted....which the NCAA doesn't do until after the athlete has completed their allotted number of season (so after the senior season).

This is something I know very well due to a large amount of research done on it due to a basketball issue that affected UNI a few years back and a kid got a medical that in no way should have gotten one. I can lay that situation out if you would like, but it involves a transfer, use of a redshirt season due to the transfer and a surgery during that transfer season.

[JSUSoutherner]

Phones suck. I had a question and it was long and my phone deleted the whole ****ing thing. Whatever. It's not worth retyping. We'll figure out if he has four years or not in four years.


Seriously, Apple, go **** yourself.

[lionsrking2]

The "screw up" is that you're saying he redshirted in 2014 (voluntary) and did not receive a medical hardship. 2015 does not count as a medical hardship because he has already used a redshirt year. Should he miss another year due to injury at Jacksonville State, he would then have a case for a 6th year. The only issue is perhaps there was an injury in 2014 and he's appealing the NCAA to have that count as a medical hardship as well. If that's the case, he would probably get a 6th year if they conclude he could not have reasonably played. Otherwise, he's considered a redshirt sophomore. Fans and media often don't have all of the correct information. I'm simply telling you the rule based on the scenario you laid out.

The bottom line is this: The NCAA will only grant an extra year due to medical hardship if a student-athlete misses two or more seasons due to injury. If they miss one due to a redshirt, and one due to injury, a 6th year would not be granted in most cases.

This is most accurate.

Based on everything that's been laid out so far there is zero chance he gets a 6th year.

Now, maybe there's paperwork proving he was 100% forced to miss 100% of 2014 to injury. If there is any video/photos/stories of him practicing though, especially the second half of the season, he's ****ed.

What about this?

From The State article linked in the SDS article:

Redshirt freshman Shaq Davidson of Gaffney will have surgery on both knees in the next six weeks and miss the season, coach Steve Spurrier said. Davidson tore a knee ligament during practice.“And he’s scheduled to have surgery on his other knee in about six weeks. It had been bothering him also,” Spurrier said. “He’ll have his second redshirt year this year.”

What about this?

From The State article linked in the SDS article:
All that proves is he missed last season due to injury. That article is from 2015

That does nothing to justify him getting a medical redshirt. I would almost never trust anything a coach says in regards to getting extra redshirt years...in fact a majority of coaches are instructed to not talk about it by compliant officers because it can lead to things like this when there is no proof that he missed 14 due to injury

What about this?

From The State article linked in the SDS article:

Obviously they are saying 2014 was missed due to previous injuries in HS and he could not have reasonably competed as a true freshman. The NCAA will investigate (or maybe already have) to make a determination if the request is valid. If so, the original scenario you presented is different. Bottom line is the NCAA will only grant a 6th year if an athlete misses 2 or more seasons due to circumstances beyond his and the institution's control ... injuries being most common.

He did have a high school ACL tear, but it was in 2011. He played QB his senior year (fall 2013) and participated in the Army All-America Bowl so I don't see how his injury from 2011 could have lingered to affect his 2014 year at USC.

What JSU better pray is this...

based on my quick research

1. Davidson suffered a minor knee injury as a senior in high school
2. He had his knee scoped a few months before showing up on campus in 2014
3. Once on campus he still took part in drills, conditioning and route running, at least through August for sure

JSU better pray that South Carolina held him out of practice, had him in the training room, had multiple MRIs taken, multiple consultations with othopedic specialists, etc... and have all the documentation - especially a medical professional telling them he IS NOT ABLE TO PLAY - and will turn that over to JSU.

All I'm seeing is that he/the coaches decided to us 2014 to continue his rehabilitation, not that it was required as he couldn't play. AAMOF, most articles from fall 2014 point to him wanting to get on the field and contribute, doing drills, and participating at practice.


That's where the kicker comes in, and maybe JSU has something that we don't know about. It doesn't sound like he wasn't able to play, rather it was decided since he had 5 years to sit out a year.

That's the major key to all of this that isn't known....and why coaches/compliance officers should keep their mouths shut when it comes to using terms like "red shirt" and "medical red-shirt" because the reality is medical waivers aren't granted until the normal playing career is finished. Hell, you can't even petition for a medical until you've finished all other years

THe situation I referenced earlier as to why I know what i do about medicals....it was a basketball player and he found out on July 2nd that he got his medical clearance so he had to re-register for school, another player gave up a scholarship for him, etc...

If 2014 was a standard redshirt year, and presented as such, I can just about guarantee you his appeal will be denied. Could be they've already appealed it with documentation and have an answer. I have no idea other than how you have described the situation. The rule is the rule. I won't get into schools that "make stuff up." That's a different issue entirely.

Remember it is the NCAA and he came from the SEC. Both organizations have a history of getting inconsistent rulings.

He is a prime example. How long ago did he find out? I'm betting it was after spring ball for sure, if not after classes were out for official clearance.

Here is a link about former NDSU wide receiver Zach Vraa deciding to come back for the 2015 season after being granted a medical redshirt. It doesn't say when the medical redshirt was granted however.

http://www.inforum.com/sports/bison/3653201-zach-vraa-return-bison-another-season

Here is a post from the Bison Media Blog from the 2011 season about Zach being injured for most of the season and potentially being granted a medical redshirt. There is mention about it not being November yet in relation to the medical redshirt.

https://bisonmedia.areavoices.com/zach-vraa/

Here is another article talking about Zach playing in the first game and then suffering a season ending injury back in 2011. The medical redshirt was used for that season.

A post from GJS about this for us that is pretty spot on:


Funniest thing about this latest announcement -- for me at least -- is that generally speaking, many of us are a little "let down" by the announcement of a http://s8212.storage.proboards.com/5498212/i/Dgh0Z4KbDQGqbXRpbFnt.png SEC transfer with sub-4.5 speed and four full years of eligibity remaining.

Just. Think. About. That.

Now, just in case Shaq or any of his friends, family, or supporters read this post, please understand when I say "let down" it's ONLY because WR and QB are not the "positions of need" we're most worried about for this season. We're freakin' happy as a clam to have Shaq join us.

It's just that the announcement of, say, a 6-3, 250 lb linebacker with a hearty appetite for opposing quarterbacks would've just made us sleep better at night. That's all.

We're a week or so away from the official roster being released. There's still hope.

Man, we're spoiled.

He is very, very, up on on who is available on the "FBS Transfer Market" as he called it...

We don't want him. Too many off the feild issues. Plus, our backfield is the last place we need to add another transfer.

Plus, the main reason we got Roc, other than his connection to Grass, was that Roc didn't want to sit behind Javon and other for playing time. It would be a d*** move to bring in the guy Roc was getting away from in the first place.

FBS transfer market? I don't remember saying that. xlolx

That's not how it works. In most cases, a sixth year is not granted if a student-athlete has already used a redshirt year. The only instances where sixth years are granted is when it can be documented that more than one year has been lost due to injury. If only one year is lost due to injury, the sixth year is typically not granted. That's not to say there haven't been instances of gray area where kids were granted 6th years on appeals but it's not common.

My guess this kid will have 3 yrs of eligibility unless they come up with an injury as to the reason he missed 2014. Otherwise, 2014 is a redshirt which is considered "voluntary."

You are correct. Davidson has 3 years of eligibility.

#StillStartingFewerThanUNI

[Redbird007]

Would guess that some of the weaker academic FCS schools would get the struggling academic FBS football transfers more often...ie Ivies are not getting any transfers!! Those players will still need to get their grades up but it should be easier at a school with less rigorous academics? Is that the case?

[clenz]

UNI starters from the 2 deep (not that it means anything, UNI's first two deeps are notorious for being complete...to the line of D3 walk on transfers have been listed as starters and returning All Conference guys not listed)

Anyway...

QB: Aaron Bailey - transfer (out of the Illinois mess/lies from 2 years ago) - back up is HS recruit
RB: Tyvis Smith -HS recruit
WR: Charles Brown - HS recruit
WR: Daurice Fountain - HS recruit
WR: Marcus Weymiller - HS recruit
TE: Elias Nissen - HS recruit
LT: Cal Twait - HS recruit
LG: Jackson Scott-Brown - HS recruit
C: Robert Rathje - HS recruit
RG: Trevor Hanson - HS recruit
RT: Jacob Appleman - - HS recruit

LDE: Hezekiah Applegate - HS recruit
DT: Preston Woods: - HS recruit
DT: Bryce Douglas - transfer (out of the Illinois mess/lies from 2 years ago...came in with Aaron Bailey)
RDE: Karter Schult - HS recruit
OLB: Jared Farley - HS recruit
MLB: Duncan Ferch - HS recruit
OLB: D'Shawn Dexter - HS recruit
CB: Malcolm Washington - transfer (Fresno State)
FS: D.J. Singleton - transfer (Nebraska...been on campus 3 years though)
SS: Tyrell Lyons - transfer (Florida State)
CB: Jamison Whiting - HS recruit

P: Sam Kuhter - HS recruit
PK: Austin Errthum - transfer (Drake...didn't play football at Drake...played soccer....so...not really sure how that counts)
H: Sam Kuhter - HS recruit
LS: Trent Simpson - HS recruit
KR: Daurice Fountain - HS recruit
PR: Marcus Weymiller - HS recruit


So, of the 28 starters there are 5.

Two of them came from an Illinois program that fired the coach over mistreatment of players and were supposedly involved in that situation


https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/08/31/u-illinois-fires-football-coach-over-mistreatment-players
The preliminary findings of the ongoing investigation -- which included a review of 200,000 pages of documents, interviews with 90 people and a “large volume” of practice and game video -- were presented to Mike Thomas, the university’s athletic director, earlier this week.
“It showed me enough evidence that Tim Beckman needed to be dismissed as the University of Illinois head football coach,” Thomas said during a press conference Friday, adding that the findings left him “shocked and angry.”

3 of them are in the secondary, where UNI has 20 players listed and 13 of them are freshman, redshirt freshman or sophomores. UNI lost 4 starters (3 to the NFL) from last years secondary. Transfers were brought in to stop gap while the younger kids developed. It also sounds like a true freshman may be getting starts by the end of the year over one of the transfers.

There are 9 total FBS transfers on the roster.


Shockingly, JSU doesn't list if they are a transfer on their roster....wonder why. I bet they have more than 9

So, of the 28 starters there are 5.

Two of them came from an Illinois program that fired the coach over mistreatment of players and were supposedly involved in that situation


3 of them are in the secondary, where UNI has 20 players listed and 13 of them are freshman, redshirt freshman or sophomores. UNI lost 4 starters (3 to the NFL) from last years secondary. Transfers were brought in to stop gap while the younger kids developed. It also sounds like a true freshman may be getting starts by the end of the year over one of the transfers.

There are 9 total FBS transfers on the roster.


Shockingly, JSU doesn't list if they are a transfer on their roster....wonder why. I bet they have more than 9
They do say it on the roster. Look again.

If I counted correctly, we have 15 FBS guys on the roster.

Only 4 are starting:
WR: Shaq Davidson- USC. (Originally was not going to start but we lost Earl Calloway to injury during camp)
TE: Jonathan Curry- Purdue
RB: Roc Thomas- Auburn
DE: Joeseph Roberts- UAB

So of our four starters we have:
An All-Academic B1G
A local kid that came back to play for his HS coach
A UAB refugee

I don't know about you, but I don't have a single problem with that.

Would guess that some of the weaker academic FCS schools would get the struggling academic FBS football transfers more often...ie Ivies are not getting any transfers!! Those players will still need to get their grades up but it should be easier at a school with less rigorous academics? Is that the case?
Academics are usually the reason we get transfers. There is an easier school in the nation than UAT as most of our transfers from there struggle at JSU. SEC schools in general arent known for academics only football and partying.
The latest transfer was on the SEC all academic team if that means anything.

Here's a list of our transfer players this season:

RB Jamie Gilmore (5'8", 200 lbs) - transferred from Temple, 1 year of eligibility left, currently listed as #3 RB on our depth chart
RB Joe Turk (6'2", 228 lbs) - transferred from Central Florida, 3 years of eligibility left, came in as a TE, but was very impressive in camp at more of a FB position. Could be more of a "Nikko Watson-style" RB...don't know if he'll be as good as Watson, but he's pretty big for a RB...we'll see.
TE Tony Harper (6'4", 228 lbs) - transferred from Pitt, 2 years of eligibility left, currently listed as #2 TE on our depth chart. Coach Fisher looks like he's implemented an offence that uses the TEs more as short-down receivers (something Coach Nielson never did), so we needed to bring in some TE receiving talent.
DL Steve Mercado (6'1", 285 lbs) - transferred from Lafayette (grad transfer rule), 1 year of eligibility left, currently listed as a #2 DT on our depth chart.

Plus a couple of JUCO guys who came in for their last two years, but I didn't know if we were talking about that type of "transfer" in this thread.

Regie Meant DL from Kentucky was playing for JSU last night also. Didnt start but did see some action. He was a starting DL for Kentucky before leaving the team. Newspaper articles not sure as to why other than personal reasons

6'4" 300+ played real well last night.
