It’s a good landing spot but apparently he’s paying his own way. I think it makes more sense to start at USD and try to transfer up than to walk on at ksu and then head down if it doesn’t work out.It makes sense. He will be buried behind a QB who is a SR next season rather than a SO next season. He will obviously have competition from some of the younger recruits (like he would anywhere) but if he emerges from that group, his path to starting is much shorter at KState. If it doesn't work out, he can always transfer down to USD or South Dakota State in a year or so.
It's a good landing spot for him.
Wait he’s walking on? Crazy.It’s a good landing spot but apparently he’s paying his own way. I think it makes more sense to start at USD and try to transfer up than to walk on at ksu and then head down if it doesn’t work out.
247 says "insider reports from the Gophers spring campaign noted early enrollee Drew Viotto challenging Knuth and, according to some, having a sharper look in the pocket."Things must have went south with the Gophers to move on and loose a scholarship for a walk on spot.
Walk on makes more sense. Odd move if there is a lot of competition thereThings must have went south with the Gophers to move on and loose a scholarship for a walk on spot.
247 makes it sound like he had a strong connection with the coach and has still maintained it. Betting on himself to be able to win the job, will be interesting to see how it plays out.Walk on makes more sense. Odd move if there is a lot of competition there
And if he is on track credit wise he could be a grad transfer in 2-3 years to anywhereIt makes sense. He will be buried behind a QB who is a SR next season rather than a SO next season.

Does he keep his free transfer by walking on?And if he is on track credit wise he could be a grad transfer in 2-3 years to anywhere
No but you can still grad transfer to my knowledgeDoes he keep his free transfer by walking on?
Will likely be one year max. NIL, parents may have some extra cash with no state income tax I believe. Who knows.Shocking he would go to place where he'd have to walk on. You know what's better than a slightly higher chance of playing meaningful snaps in a football game? Getting out of school debt free. But maybe that's just the dad in me talking.
I know if you start as a walk-on like Charlie Jones did at Buffalo you don’t burn your free transfer going on scholarship at a new school, but maybe doesn’t work the other way around.No but you can still grad transfer to my knowledge
There are two different rules.I know if you start as a walk-on like Charlie Jones did at Buffalo you don’t burn your free transfer going on scholarship at a new school, but maybe doesn’t work the other way around.
Wouldn't walking on at Kansas St a couple months after entering the portal suggest he had limited to no other offers?
With the number of QBs in the portal I would think his options to stay at the power 5 level would have been non-existent outside of going the walk on route the way he did. Power 5 teams are pretty unlikely to gamble on a guy who has never seen the field when there are far more proven options available.Wouldn't walking on at Kansas St a couple months after entering the portal suggest he had limited to no other offers?
Maybe NIL will cover it? Kansas may have reduced tuition rates for SD residents?Shocking he would go to place where he'd have to walk on.

I don't think it does.I know if you start as a walk-on like Charlie Jones did at Buffalo you don’t burn your free transfer going on scholarship at a new school, but maybe doesn’t work the other way around.
He could have had options… or didn’t shop around much… lots of possibilities.Wouldn't walking on at Kansas St a couple months after entering the portal suggest he had limited to no other offers?
Around 2012 or so the Gophers took a transfer kicker from NC State. He was a walk-on at NC State and got a scholarship at Minnesota, so he didn’t have to sit out. Maybe transferring to K State uses up his free transfer, but he gets another one if he leaves his walk on spot for a scholarship elsewhere.I know if you start as a walk-on like Charlie Jones did at Buffalo you don’t burn your free transfer going on scholarship at a new school, but maybe doesn’t work the other way around.
It used to be if you are not on scholarship you can transfer anytime you’d like. I’m not sure if the rules are different now for PWOs because they can get training and food benefits a normal walk on doesn’t.Around 2012 or so the Gophers took a transfer kicker from NC State.
