COLUMBIA, MO. • Missouri is doubling down on transfer quarterbacks.

Former Texas Christian University starter Shawn Robinson has signed a financial aid agreement to play for the Tigers, MU announced Tuesday. Robinson must sit out the 2019 season and will have two seasons of playing eligibility starting in 2020.

Robinson becomes the second Power 5 conference quarterback the Tigers have landed this month. Kelly Bryant, a graduate transfer and former starter at Clemson, will join the program next month and is the expected starter for 2019, his final year of eligibility.

So hes going to a place with, what, about six other quarterbacks? Odd choice if he doesn't want competition. Those that say the parents are in charge are sounding much more accurate. Not impressed. I hope he does well, but I'll be keeping an interested eye on what happenes there next year...

What is a financial aid agreement? Does that mean he's not going to be on scholarship?

i believe the financial aid agreement is actually the scholarship

He’ll be sitting out next year.

I don't see Shawn fitting in culturally there, but maybe he didn't have a lot of options in the P5.

I get that, but the fact remains that hes going to have a shipload of competition. If I read that article right, there's two new recruits, a senior, a junior, and a juco transfer that are waiting for him. Maybe I didn't remember the exact numbers, but no matter, he's gonna have a fight on his hands...

***Edited to say I went back and looked, and there's a red-shirt freshman, two sophomores, a junior, and the new transfer. So even after a year of sitting, at the very least he's going to have two seniors, and a redshirt junior, and I'm sure they're going to recruit at LEAST one QB next fall as well.

We might see him move one more time in his football career.

Did he really go to three different high schools?

 

[Realtorfrog]

That was quick. Makes one wonder if he was contacted during the season.
