TULSA, Okla. -- University of Texas quarterback G.J. Kinne says he's transferring to the University of Tulsa.
Kinne is a redshirt freshman and will have three years of eligibility after sitting out the coming season.
He was a two-time Class 3-A offensive player of the year in Texas. He was fourth on the Longhorns' depth chart behind Colt McCoy, John Chiles and Sherrod Harris.
Kinne, 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, passed for 11,695 yards and 130 touchdowns in four high school seasons, second in Texas high school history.
"We're extremely excited to have a player of G.J.'s caliber," Tulsa coach Todd Graham said. "He has been a winner his whole life. 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."
Kinne's father is a high school coach who was a teammate of Graham. TU assistant Brent Graham was once a defensive coordinator on the father's staff.
at one point there was alot of talk that he was headed to the Hill. Look at him now. At least he'll be able to build up his stats.
