Yes. FBS to FCS transfers you don't have to sit out any time.

That’s what I thought but saw someone say he has to sit out. I hope he is as talented as his videos.

Different kid. The one transferring from Charleston Southern (FCS) was the one we didn't know about. This guy is coming from Temple (FBS).

Ahhhh, okay. Makes sense now. Started to throw them back a little too early.

Incoming grad transfer from Ohio State:
LB (but can also RB and LS), was an invited Walk-on at Ohio State. One year of eligibility (grad transfer).
Westerville (OH) Central HS -> East Tennessee State (1 year) -> Ohio State (redshirt+2 years playing) -> Western Illinois
Here's his bio on OSU's site: http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports ... 72272.html
He's listed at 6' 0" and 225lbs.
In HS he was apparently also a very talented QB, although if he's primarily a LB, I'd imagine that we'll see if he can fill a brett-sized hole in our defense this next year.

Also...holy crap did he work hard to get done this semester...

Down in the replies to that post, he tells a friend that he is going to play FB/Hybrid. Sounds like the kid can do a lot of things. QB, LB, long snapper, now FB.

Wonder if there is a Coach Haneline connection here?
