I am a huge supporter of high school student-athletes choosing to transfer for education or in an effort to put them in a better position to be successful. I firmly believe that the new transfer rule makes it easier for a student to quit when faced with adversity.

After all, it’s roughly only fewer than 4% of those student-athletes that receive a college scholarship, meaning that the majority of athletes will have played organized sports only while enrolled in high school.

Over the past several years, I have noticed student-athletes transferring to play sports at different schools. Some of these student-athletes are highly skilled, can play multiple positions and compete at a high level. More than likely will start after reporting to campus.

The topic of transfer athletes isn’t new news. Over the years several athletes that lived in Pittsburgh County have been playing sports for Eufaula for a considerable amount of time, as have athletes from Muskogee Country competed for other schools in McIntosh County.

Are transfers going to be the high school version of the college transfer portal, you better believe it, because it’s happening right now.
