There "Might" be an out if you are transferring to a place your dad coaches at. But the NCAA rulebook is about a zillion pages... so who knows.

Did Robby redshirt for the 2017 season? If so, I think that helps eligibility in 2018.

Couldn’t a player drop out of the fcs football school after this fall semester and immediately attend a community or junior college as a full time student during the upcoming spring semester and then join another fcs school the subsequent fall semester as a student athlete eligible to play immediately?
Thus effectively only missing out on winter conditioning and spring ball?

I've heard of this situation before, cannot remember which sport or which team. However, the athlete was granted eligibility being they considered his 1 year off by redshirting to satisfy the transfer rules. I wish I knew more.
From NCAA.Org:
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

First off, my comment was regarding going to JC for a semester and transferring the next semester to skirt the rules and in response to the comment that you could. It is false.
From the NCAA
Rules for 4-2-4 Transfers
In the NCAA, the Division I and Division II rules look very different, but are more similar than they look. There are some important differences, but there is a simple way to meet both sets of requirements.
Division I
4-2-4 transfers in Division I must meet the following academic requirements to be eligible to compete immediately after transferring to the second four-year school:
Complete an average of 12 hours of transferable degree credit per term of full-time attendance at the junior college;
Earn at least a 2.000 GPA in those transferable courses;
Have at least one calendar year elapse since leaving the original four-year school; and
Graduate from the junior college.
