Question
A friend of mine asked me to find out some information about her son. He plays football at an NAIA school in Virginia. He is a freshman and is being red-shirted. He only recieves a partial football scholarship and the out-of-state tuition is very expensive. her question is this  " if her son transfers to an in-state NAIA school will he loose any eligibility since he red-shirted this season. Also, will he be eligible immediately os have to sit out a semester. " I think she wants a quick answer so that if he does transfer , he can do so this spring and be eligible for football next fall.

Answer
Stephen, hello!

The student athlete needs to get the official word from the two colleges and the NCAA.  I have attached the website and phone number for the NCAA to verify.
