we have pretty good kickers on the roster currently
Yup.
2 year stats. The UM kickers basically kicked only 1 year. GP kicked as true frosh and soph.
I used only FG stats from 39 and in, as GP has not been accurate outside of 39 and both UM kickers seem to be more accurate from 40 and over.
GP: 12-15 in FG's. 55-56 for extra points.
Semenza: 11-12. 33-42.
Purdy: 14-15. 42-44.
Purdy was hurt during spring ball. Don't know what, but assume it wasn't a big deal.
GP wasn't on scholarship at MSU, so assume he doesn't have to sit out a year.
Scholarship or not, transfer rules still apply.
Yes, transfer rules apply. But there are exceptions for one-time transfers even for D-I football. Take a look at these blurbs from the ncaa. It may depend on whether GP contacted MSU, and whether MSU coaches called GP more than once or paid for a visit for him. If GP won't be eligible this fall, why would they use a PWO slot for him for fall practice?
"One-time transfer exception: If you transfer from a four-year school, you may be immediately eligible to compete at your new school if you meet ALL the following conditions:
You are transferring to a Division II or III school, or you are transferring to a Division I school in any sport other than baseball, men's or women's basketball, football (Football Bowl Subdivision) or men’s ice hockey. If you are transferring to a Division I school for any of the previously-listed sports, you may be eligible to compete immediately if you were not recruited by your original school and you have never received an athletics scholarship.
You are academically and athletically eligible at your previous four-year school.
You receive a transfer-release agreement from your previous four-year school."
"Recruited: If a college coach calls you more than once, contacts you off campus, pays your expenses to visit the campus, or in Divisions I and II, issues you a National Letter of Intent or a written offer of financial aid, you are considered to be recruited. In Division I, a written offer of financial aid to attend summer school before full-time enrollment does not mean you have been recruited."
"Walk-on: Someone who is not typically recruited by a school to participate in sports and does not receive a scholarship from the school, but who becomes a member of one of the school’s athletics teams."
