Good news!!  Welcome Cody!

[GMG24]

This one will be a transfer from A&M Commerce, I would assume as a preferred walk-on?

Well, he obviously likes catching balls at Apogee.

He was a 2 year varsity starter at Allen.  I like that.  Here's a little more info on the kid...

This is a transfer from a D2 school that according to their website had zero catches in 2015.  

 

Gotta be be a walk on...right?

[MeanGreenTexan]

How does a D2 transfer process work?  Do they have to sit out a year?  If no, I would think you would see alot of transfers from D2 schools to D1.

I believe he sits for a year. Hopefully as a walk-on

[Withers940]

Can JUCO's RS kids? Can he RS this year if he has to sit out?

[Eagle-96]

So if you walk-on that means you don't have to sit a year? But you can't be put on scholarship for a year?

They can, but this kid is coming from a DII school.

I believe it works that if a player was on scholarship at his lower level school then he still has to sit out even if he isn't put on scholarship here (which he isn't going to be). At least that's how it works for FCS going up to FBS.

Either way, it shouldn't matter. He shouldn't be on the field this year over guys like Goree, Smiley, Kidsy, Rutherford, Thompson, Khan, etc. Especially if he couldn't crack the depth chart last year at a DII school. Quality walkon pickup though. At least has a chance at some point in his career.
