Question
Hey Thom,
   I am a college football player from Valdosta State University. I came into the program in 2008 right after they won the division 2 championship. Coming out of high school I wasn't highly recruited but i did have about 7 D1AA scholarship offers but my ACT scores didn't qualify, but now that im here I have found that the program isn't what it seems and i know that i have the potential to start on a d1 football team. At 6'1 205 with 4.5/4.6 speed who can play in space well and also come into the box like a linebacker from the SS position i know i can be a good fit for someone program but how should i go about doing so?

Answer
Randy, hello

I have attached the NCAA eligibility rules for you to inspect but you will have to sit out for one year if you transfer UP to a higher division.

Wish you the best of success.  Go Blazers!  Go Georgia!  Go Florida State!  Go Georgia Southern!
