we have an answer:

"It is unknown if he will be a walk-on or on scholarship for a UM squad that currently lists juniors Brandon Purdy and Timmy Semenza as kickers on its roster. If Peppenger is a walk-on, he will not have to sit out next season. If he is on scholarship, he will likely have to sit out next season per NCAA transfer rules."

Don’t think that’s what the NCAA rules say. The rules key off how he was or was not recruited by MSU and, I think, what MSU is willing to certify or not.

isn't it unlikely he would get a scholorship? I thought we had a pretty decent kicking game last year and that position is sured up...

NCAA football transfer rules. Actually, exceptions.

"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."

"Exceptions

Exception: If you meet a legislated exception, it means a specific regulation will not apply to you. The school to which you are transferring determines whether you are eligible and has the authority to apply exceptions.

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.

Waiver: An action that sets aside an NCAA rule because a specific, extraordinary circumstance prevents you from meeting the rule. An NCAA school may file a waiver on your behalf; you cannot file a waiver for yourself. The school does not administer the waiver, the conference office or NCAA does."

Purdy sat out all spring with an injury. If he's back to normal then we are solid. If not, then we will need all feet on deck

Thanks for posting this, it's a good clarifies quite a bit. It's too bad the NCAA considers Bozeman to be a Div 1 school, nobody else does.

So, in a nutshell, he can play for the Griz this coming season?

There is also a BSC rule that deals with transfers between schools. Guess you already forgot about Robby Hauck.

Didn't he lose his kicking job at MSU?

Peppenger didn't lose his kicking job. He was the primary MSU kicker for his frosh and sophomore years. He decided not to play in about January this year when Choate wouldn't give him any schollie money. He didn't do spring ball at MSU. He finished the spring semester, came back to Missoula, and went to talk to the Griz coaches in May.

You're right. I remember seeing Luke Daly kick some, particularly KOs and longer FGs. Peppinger was good on XPs (30/31) and short FGs (4/4), but his longest FG was 34 yards. 1/4 on attempts over 29. While accurate, Peppinger did not seem make the staff confident that he had a strong leg.

I recall him being shunned by Stitt when he wanted to go to UM out of HS. Stitt told him we were set at kicker.

Daly started last season as the kicker, and GP was redshirting. After Daly did poorly (0-3 in FG's, and 3-4 extra points), GP came off redshirt and started doing most of the kicking, or FB and extra points. Daly left the team fairly quickly after that. As a frosh, GP was 9-13 in FG's, and 25-25 in extra points. His longs that year were 44, 39 and 38. His kickoffs that year were 61.6. 58.something last fall.

According to your link, MSU is supposedly getting a (Tristan) Bailey, out of Coffeyville College, "(that) kicked 85 per cent of his kickoffs for touchdowns." I hope he is kicking for the boobcats against the Griz.
