Per his Instagram account, former Trinity grad and UofL commit, then Ohio State signee, Rodjay Burns has decided to transfer to Louisville due to his father's health. Nice.

I wouldn't use the word "nice" in this circumstance, but it's good to have him. Welcome home RB!
Same here. Hope his Dad recovers to full health. I lost my Dad in 2016 and I think about him every day.
No. They've already said he'll sit out a year. Must've been highly under rated in HS. Was a composite 3 star, but saw good game time as a Freshman at OSU. Very few true freshmen get good playing time at OSU.
He played in 6 games (all but one were mop-up minutes in huge blowouts), and had 1 tackle. Now, he DID score a TD on a 75 yard pick six in a 77-10 blowout of Bowling Green. Although he did get in 6 games playing for talent laden OSU, I'm not quite sure I would categorize his OSU career as getting good playing time. But I suppose a glass half full perspective could make that case. I have high hopes he can contribute for UofL after sitting out a year.
I believe he was underrated. As a sophomore, he was James Quick's replacement at wide receiver. He was also the starting safety on defense and continued as a twoway starter for the next 3 years. I believe he is 6' 2" and has good speed.
Gotta say it before everybody worries themselves to death.
I know people who know the Dad and they are unaware of any health issues.
Say he had some surgery a while back but nothing life threatening.
The "sick Dad" story was a ruse all along and pretty sad IMO.
Karma can be a Beotch.
