SEC Transfers

As is the nature of the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision, it's no longer called I-AA college football), who transfers to your school from a DI power can make an immediate impact since DI players transferring to FCS schools don't have to sit out a year.

As can be read HERE, The Ohio Valley Conference (OVC), which EIU is in, has three different transfers who are predicted to carry their teams to good seasons. Head coaches and sports information directors have done their pre-season "order of finish" poll for the OVC this year, and here are top four: 

1) Jacksonville State, 2) Eastern Kentucky, 3) Eastern Illinois, and 4) Tennessee State.

Jax State now has the former LSU QB phenom Ryan Perrilloux, Tenn State has South Carolina transfer Antonio Heffner at QB, and EIU has Chevon Walker, a RB who transferred from Florida after selling bowl game tickets or something like that.

EIU, however, probably has the best all-around talent on both sides of the ball in the league. 

It should be an interesting fall in the OVC.
