Do we go after him? He's a Mullen type QB and was all world out of high school, just like Cam. Just curious.

he could go to a JUCO and then come to MSU or another SEC school, and I don't think that there's anything that Saban could do about that.

University of Alabama reserve quarterback Star Jackson is exploring his options for a transfer and is considering Georgia State, which has one of his former high school coaches on staff, The Tuscaloosa News has learned.

Jackson's future at Alabama has been the subject of speculation since midseason last fall, when true freshman A.J. McCarron earned the No. 2 quarterback position behind starter Greg McElroy.

“Star is still in the process of getting his release from Alabama, but Georgia State is definitely a possibility for him, definitely one of his options,” said Jackson's former high school coach, Errick Lowe of Lake Worth (Fla.) High.

As UA players are not made available to the media during the off season, Jackson was unavailable for comment. It remains unclear when Jackson might enroll at the Atlanta school, but according to the GSU web site, the deadline for transfer applications for the fall term is June 1.

Jackson's attraction to Georgia State is the presence of secondary coach Anthony Midget on head coach Bill Curry's staff.

Midget, who played at Virginia Tech and in the NFL, was an assistant coach at Lake Worth for most of Jackson's prep career there. Midget left Lake Worth to serve as a graduate assistant at Virginia Tech in 2007 before joining Curry's fledgling program at Georgia State.

“When I learned that Star was interested in moving on, I knew Anthony was someone that he knew, someone who could help him get through any distractions,” Lowe said. “They had a great relationship (at Lake Worth). Anthony coached with us here for four or five years, had a chance to coach Star for three or four years, and they always got along well.”

Jackson could go to JUCO, and Bama wouldn't have any say so in where he went after that.

The Article Low has linked out of his blog says Georgia State is an option along with several other sub division teams.

Just curious here, but how did we get Hanrahan? Did Saban release him to us? I believe I saw where he did sign with and play for Alabama.

You can't block someone from walking on anywhere, you can only block them from receiving a scholarship for the 1st year after the transfer.

he does not want to sit out a year, so he'll probably end up at some D2 school. I really don't know the rules on transferring and sitting out, that's just what I've read.

Supposedly, he's looking 1-AA or Football Championship Subdivision (whatever it's now called). He's already used his redshirt so he wants to play his remaining three years.
