Good news for teams hoping to have their offseason transfer additions available on the field as soon as football returns, the NCAA will reportedly be meeting in the near future to discuss the one-time transfer waiver with a vote set to take place following the meeting.

According to Kendall Rogers of D1Baseball, the one-time transfer rule is expected to pass and it will be implemented immediately if it is indeed passed.

“The NCAA Division I Council will discuss the implementation of a one-time transfer waiver on April 24,” Rogers shared. “The Council will not vote on it that day, but a vote IS expected to take place on May 20. Told the measure is expected to pass and would immediately apply. Stay tuned.”

While graduate transfers are currently eligible to compete immediately upon graduation, undergraduates must sit out a year according to current NCAA rules.

This waiver would allow athletes the opportunity to transfer once during their career without having to sit out a season.

Notable players around the SEC that would become immediately eligible should this measure pass include Florida receiver Justin Shorter and running back Lorenzo Lingard, Kentucky quarterback Joey Gatewood, Ole Miss safety Otis Reese, Tennessee offensive lineman Cade Mays.
