Chattanooga quarterback Zack Weatherly announced on Twitter Monday night that he is transferring to Tennessee, where he expects to play wide receiver.

“First I would like to thank Chattanooga for everything they have done for me,” Weatherly wrote. “But after a lot of thought and prayer I have decided to switch positions to wide receiver and transfer to the University of Tennessee to continue my athletic and academic career!”

Weatherly reshirted the 2016 season for the Mocs. He made the Dean’s List and A.D. Honor Roll in the fall, according to the UTC website.

  2. He is going from an FCS to FBS so I don’t think he would have to sit out and since he redshirted he may not have to sit since he didn’t play. But hey, I’m probably wrong.

    • I’m not positive but I think if you’re transferring from FBS to FCS you can play right away. However, if you’re transferring from FCS to FBS you have to sit out a year.
