He originally was at Illinois State and was a third-team FCS All-American in 2019, then transferred to VT. He started 8 games there last season and was 4th on the team in tackles, also picked up 2 picks and had 4 PBUs last year. Seems like a pretty great get, to me.
If true, don’t think he can play this season if transfer after July 1. That date may also be if entered the Portal AFTER July 1….. not sure rules…..??
July 1 is correct for this year only, goes to May 1 beginning 2022.

Looks like he entered the portal a couple weeks ago so not eligible to play this year.

Doesn't appear to be any mention of him exiting VT until August 18th....
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

Joey Gatewood left Kentucky after July 1 and some how received a waiver to play immediately. No clue how all that works.

He's on the depth chart so apparently he's eligible.

Taylor should be a grad transfer so maybe that has something to do with immediate eligibility? How far is Lansing from BG? I will never figure out waivers.
