Football Simmons to Transfer
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
I agree, best of luck to him.
as far as a scholie, I believe so but I don't know for what year. The experts could answer better than me.
Rutgers allowed him transfer wherever he wanted other then the three OOC schools they play this year and no Big Ten schools.
Would assume he transfer to a mid major or goes juco and resurfaces somewhere and becomes non existent in a few years
@RepeatedCrown6 there is no need for that type of comment. The kid is simply a kid who made a mistake. Hopefully he learns from it and gets back to playing football. It's a shame how some of you speak of these kids when they do not plan out.
Yes, there is a new NCAA rule that allows transfers - as stated above the rule goes into place on Oct. 15 - (though some schools can allow/follow earlier).
However, conferences still have the "freedom" to enact transfer restrictions. Though, I don't know if B1G has such a rule (or plans to make such a rule).
Never-the-less, RU's approach makes clear to any school interested, that no such potential restriction (such as those which exist in the SEC) would apply here.

He doesn’t get to plan out because of something he did NOT what Rutgers did.
As the ole’ coach used to say, “I don’t make cuts, you cut yourself.”
He and the others involved processed themselves.
Linebacker is one of our strongest groups between Morris, Roberts, Maddox-Williams, Fogg, Battle and Fatukasi going 2 deep. We seem to recruits LBs well even into 2019
Think it became thinner once the kid was suspended and Ash gave him an out before possible dismissal from the program.
I think some of the other suspended players might go the transfer route rather than take a chance of a heavy punishment or dismissal from the RU FB Program for their role in credit card fraud.
Until I know Syhiem's exact roll in the credit card fraud I can't wish him well as a football player because of transferring but won't wish him bad things either.
Just hope he can learn from this mess and live a productive life in future.
He won’t be missed in the short term. Let his teammates down and hopefully he learns a life lesson. Really think Fogg and Fatuski can be really good in the B1G.
He let all of his teammates down, he had a responsibility to more than just himself. That's what my coaches always taught me. I have no sympathy for him this was a selfish act. At some point in life you have to learn right from wrong and being responsible for more than just yourself. Apparently he hasn't learned any of those yet.
