Doesn't seem like a real need right now, I'm wondering if he'll get a scholarship. Are the posters on the Iowa site right that he didn't even start at running back in his senior year?
Well it looks like I was right for once. He's currently a walk on according to the Athens messenger article and will try out for a schollie next year.
The article did say that he played a lot of DB his Senior year. It's possible Ohio might use him there, I suppose.
If he does play football here is he eligible this fall, or does he have to sit out a year? Sounds like he didn't play at all at Iowa so maybe he's eligible now. Anyone know?
How long you sit before you transfer doesn't matter, you always have to sit out a year AFTER the transfer, so he'll have to sit out 2015. If he had waited until after classes began, then I don't think 2015 would count as "after the transfer", and then he would have also had to sit out 2016, or at least, that's my understanding.
