SEC Football Transfers and Rumors of Transfers 2013

[NoNC4Tubs]

USC quarterback Max Wittek has decided to skip spring practice, graduate and then transfer to another school to play his final two seasons, he told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday.

Because he will have his undergraduate degree, the redshirt sophomore will be able to play immediately at an FBS school under the NCAA's graduate transfer rule.

Masoli left the Pac 10 to come to the SEC and get immediate playing time.

So where did he wind up transferring to? 

[jbcarol]

He has to graduate from USC this spring to be eligible to play immediately in 2014 elsewhere.

Tejas is considered the leader per the LA Times and he has visited Hawaii.

LSU defensive back Kavahra Holmes says he will not be a Tiger in 2014, according to a Twitter post he made Monday. LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette confirmed via Twitter that Holmes was leaving the program plans to transfer.

In his tweet he said "Its been great LSU, but its a new start of my life.. Thanks to all the coaches and fam here! DBU i will hold it down! Yall remember that."

Holmes, a 6-feet-2, 184-pounder from Breaux Bridge where he was also a track standout, played in one game last season and did not record any statistics. He has been participating in spring practice. He was suspended from the team after being arrested by LSU campus police for simple battery Oct. 22.

Tennessee tailback Alden Hill is leaving the Volunteers.

The rising redshirt sophomore from Ohio announced his departure via his Instagram on Tuesday evening.

"As of today I'm sad to say I'm no longer a Tennessee Vol," Hill wrote in the post. "I have decided to move on for my best interest and find a new home. I have loved Tennessee and the entire Big Orange family. I thank the coaches and the fans for my time here and will always remember my time spent at Tennessee, my first true love."

The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Hill signed with Tennessee in 2012 out of Marlington High School in Alliance, where he set the school's record for career rushing yards as a junior. He was rated as a three-star prospect by both Rivals.com and 247sports.com.

After taking a redshirt season, Hill appeared in eight games last season. He carried the ball 10 times for 58 yards and scored the only touchdown of his career deep into garbage time of the Vols' 59-14 loss at Oregon. That game, in mid-September, was the last one in which he registered a carry.

He played primarily on special teams for the next few games, but didn't play in the season's last four games.

In addition, Stoops announced wide receiver Jeff Badet has a broken fibula and will be out a few months.

Whitlow's dad said QB was 'a little mortified' by report he was likely headed to Eastern Illinois. Still no timetable for choice.


Mortified that it was reported he was going there with DGB or mortified that he didn't get to "break" the news himself?

Lemay was one of four Georgia players charged with theft by deception in a check-cashing scheme — the players attempted to cash stipend checks from Georgia multiple times. Lemay was charged with four counts of theft, and may have faced a suspension if he were convicted.

Charlotte is in the process of becoming an FBS school

Will play in Conf USA.

Bobby Petrino is working hard to add SEC transfers Shaq Wiggins, Ja'Quay Williams

Former Georgia cornerback Shaq Wiggins and former Texas A&M receiver Jaquay Williams are visiting Louisville's campus tonight as a potential transfer spot, according to a source.

Wiggins started eight games as a freshman in 2013, recording 19 tackles with two interceptions and four pass breakups, but he's leaving Georgia for what coach Mark Richt calls a "fresh start."

Williams had four catches for 71 yards and a touchdown for the 2013 Aggies, but the highly rated prep player out of Georgia wants to get closer to home.

Louisville defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, who coordinated Georgia's defense for four seasons, is serving as a landing strip for former Bulldogs defenders.
