The original list presented (YSU, Iowa, Mt Union) was BS...the guy was messing around.
The thread author did say Zwick did visit Toledo.
Sounds like a sham to me but OxfordBuck is usually decent with news...

Although he has to sit out a year if he transfers to a I-A school, that year he sits out doesn't count against his eligibility, so he'd still have two years of eligibility left.

Yes it does. He already burnt the redshirt in 02. 5 years to play 4, unless you get an NCAA-approved medical redshirt year.

Wrong. From his bio on the official site:
Began his career at Indiana where he starred as a freshman in 2002 … transferred to Ohio State following his rookie campaign in Bloomington … sat out the 2003 season while serving a year-in-residence requirement under NCAA transfer rules ... Big Ten rules prohibit Ohio State from granting him a scholarship so he is paying his own way to play for the Buckeyes … enters the fall vying for time at the middle linebacker spot … aggressive, nose-to-the-ball type player … will have three years of eligibility at Ohio State.
I added the bold...

anytime you transfer schools you lose 1 of your 5 years. If you didn't redshirt, you still have the usual 4 years of playing time. If you did redshirt and then transferred, you will have 3 years playing time.....Only difference in this is if you go to a D1-AA school, in which you lose nothing.

Let the cards fall...
That is correct JLB, Kerr did not redshirt. He was a member of the of All Big Ten freshman team.

You won't hear it from an official source, but Kerr tested positive for roids. They pretty much told him that if he could clean his act up he might get a shot next year.

mili....the difference is that zwick has already redshirted......while kerr finally did this year, but not at indiana....
its the five years to complete four rule...
zwick is going to be a fourth year junior next season and kerr will be a third year sophomore.....
it is reediculously confusing i know....

Wasn't talking about Zwick in that post. Was talking about Kerr, in response to Goofy's assertion that you lose a year of eligibility when you transfer...you don't lose a year when you transfer, you still have your five years to play four. Kerr played his frosh year at IU (2002)...one playing year and one of the five total years gone. Kerr redshirted (practiced with the team but didn't play during game time)...didn't lose a playing year but lost one of the five total years. Thus, he still has three playing years left among his remaining three of the the five total years. Now, had Kerr not practiced with the team (totally disassociated himself from the program...he was a walk-on) last year, he wouldn't not have used a year out of his total of five year, and would've had four years left to play three, thus wouldn't have burned any of his eligibility regardless of the transfer.
