Generally, yes. Maybe not for that one UGa transfer CB that went to Florida. He had a terrible game against UK. Van highlighted several of his mistakes. But generally speaking ... absolutely.
Bama DB transfers to UK
- Thread starter satcheluk
- Start date
He redshirted in 2020. He played in 21, 22, and 23. That's three years of playing, only one remaining.
Maybe Bama players get more downs before burning a year? They might not count that '21 season as "playing"
From the linked Rivals profile, he was a 4 Star and Top 200 recruit, ranked 164 overall, for the 20’ Class.
I think 2020 is the only free year.
He redshirted 2020, then played 3.
Maybe he could redshirt, again, but doubt he could play two more.
corners were the bigger issue imo. best pass plays against kentucky were along the sidelines not in the middle of the field. UK also plays a way, as has been pointed out here a lot, that prevents the big play at the expense of plays underneath further protecting their two- or three-deep looks.
overall, the run defense was one of the best in the conference the entire season. the pass rush was too sporadic but good at times.

This guy is a starter day one. Whoever said a depth piece is sorely mistaken....
If someone redshirted in 2020, they would still get another year I believe.
OK, I see that KSR says two. I posted the below before seeing it. Still think there are wrong.
NO! He didn't play in 20. The covid year allows you to not count 20. If you didn't play in 20, there is nothing to not count. He should however be able to redshirt a year still, so two to play one.

He started two games and was the heir to a starting spot next season, so not sure what caused him to jump. Hard not to think we gave him more NIL.
Covid year exception gives an extra year, though I have seen it reported both one and two years of remaining eligibility.
He was a great QB in high school and his team had a lot of success. And to succeed in playing at the level he has at one of the top two college football programs on the defensive side, he seems to be a special athlete that knows how to win.
He didn't start last year and wasn't going to start this coming year.
He was a very very good player but with the safeties we have even he had to leave to find the field. We also have ty Bryant who looks great. So now we have 4 very talented guys at one position.
Surely we're going to move someone to cb or nb or something. If we're playing zone anyway, I much prefer getting our best players on the field. No more snaps for subpar CBS
It’s all speculative, but he was a Top 200 recruit, nationally, who played significant minutes at a team full of 4 and 5 Star players, now transferring to a program that has successively started transfer DB’s and put them in the League.
A win-win kind of transfer.
Whoever said that must not have saw how pitiful our secondary was last year. He should easily be a starter barring no injury.
Per the official news release from UK: Will have one season of eligibility remaining
