Question
Hi,
I am currently enrolled at a state college in NJ and I want to transfer out to another college maybe, out of state to play football. I do not know the steps I should take. I want to transfer in time for spring conditioning. I did play football in high school but thought I was done with football and decided I was not going to play again in college.  I realized I missed it and want to play again. Do you have any advise as to what I should do and what steps I should take?

Answer
Cory, hello!


You need to contact the new school you will attend.  They will get the official statement from the NCAA about your years of Eligibility left.  I attached the NCAA website and rules but they will give you the precise answer!

Wish you the very best and hope you get a chance to live the dream!!
