at least he won't magically "lose any stars" considering he's going "FBS" program.

Wish him the best and if he looks to transfer, I would hope we are at the top of his mind.

I was thinking this guy wasn’t highly touted and did not have any stars next to his name when I looked him up on DNR Rivals page. Am I wrong?

I think someone mentioned he was a 3 star recruit on one of the recruiting sites.

Yep, it can many things. Frequently a girl has something to do with the change......

Picked up a transfer DB today.

Jebril Murray from navy.

Also had offers from army and Air Force out of HS.

Looks to be a redshirt frosh/soph.

Looks like he played three years at Glen Allen and then transferred to Hermitage for his senior season (17-18). Then played at the Navy prep school (18-19) and redshirted at Navy (19-20). I don't know if he is eligible this year or has to sit one.

Since he's transferring from FBS to FCS he should be eligible to play this year. Unless there is some rule about summer classes, but I don't think that would be the case.

I know this guy has been talked about on the 2021 recruiting thread, but if he's playing this upcoming 2020 Spring season as a grad transfer, he is a 2020 recruit..

Assume he'll play safety, but was a receiver in high school.

Likely a very good student.

Not a lot of expectations, but hopefully he'll be a piece of the puzzle.
