Question
can a division 2 college football player transfer and play for a division 1 school without sitting out a year?

Answer
Gordon, hello!

I have attached the NCAA website for your review.  Generally, the answer is No.  You would have to sit out for one year if you transfer up to a higher division.  If you transfer down, you do not sit out.

Take care and let's vote for football and baseball to triple their games!!
