Texas QB Garrett Gilbert to transfer

[Guest bigred360]

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert, who lost his starting job after two games and then had season-ending shoulder surgery, plans to transfer.

 

Gilbert was given an unconditional release from his scholarship to find another school. In a statement released Wednesday, Gilbert did not say where he planned to go, but indicated he has visited several schools and will visit more while finishing this semester at Texas.

 

Gilbert said he talked to coach Mack Brown and the staff and decided "it is in my best interest to transfer. I can't thank all of my teammates and everyone at Texas enough for all of their support, but I just think I'm at a point in my life where I need a fresh start."

Wonder if Lamar would have any interest in Gilbert?

Gilbert will transfer to SMU, sit a year.

So, I guess he is using a medical redshirt this year. Then sit out another year at SMU? Well, June Jones is one heck of a offensive minded coach who might bring out the best in Gilbert.

We can still hope he will transfer to a Southland school as long as it isn't Lamar.
