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.
