Please do not post under this thread. I will add recruits and this summary will keep getting longer and longer. By not adding additional posts under this post, Tulsa and/or CUSA fans can print out this summary and not get a whole lot of extra pages of comments.
TRANSFERS:

Transfer from University of Texas. Also offered by Baylor, Florida, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, UCLA, Tennessee and others.
Accolodes: Rivals Texas Top 100 (#58), Rivals #15 Dual Threat QB, Rivals 3-Star
Comment: Texas had four QBs on Scholarship and then added a 5-Star QB verbal. Has 3 years elgibility after sitting out one year.
Comment from Todd Graham/Tulsa World: His ability to scramble and make plays is his strength. He can make people miss and has great vision down the field when he is scrambling to be able to connect on a big pass play.
Comment from Todd Graham/ESPN: For a player of his caliber to transfer to Tulsa speaks volumes about our program and where we're are at this point. He had a lot of big time scholarship offers out of high school.
