Chad Hansen...

Chad will have to sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules. I have to think Chad was offered a full scholarship by Cal. Chad must be a FBS type of player otherwise he would have not left ISU. Cal must think Chad is a FBS type of player.
 
Many players leave school thinking they have the skills to play at a higher level. Who knows, maybe he does? However, he could not have talked to Cal prior to being granted a release by Idaho State. I highly doubt that he received a full scholarship to Cal...you rarely see kids move up that do. More than likely he is walking on the program with the OPPORTUNITY to earn a scholarship.

Anyone remember Garrett Swanson to Marquette? How'd that turn out?
 
I was sorry to see Chad go, but I will say this: regardless how his football career turns out, he's at one of the most difficult public universities in the country to get into. So he should get a great education. And if he plays at that level, more power to him.
 
I thought that Chad played this past season as a true freshman. If so then he'll just use his redshirt year to transfer and then he'll be a redshirt sophomore at Cal during the 2015 season. I hope he does well at Cal.
 
You are probably right about Chad going to Cal as a walk on in hope that he has the opportunity to earn a scholarship in 2015. I personally thought he would return home to play for a JUCO and than try to get picked up by a FBS school on full scholarship where he could burn his redshirt going into his junior year. I was surprised to see him on the Cal Roster going into the 2014 season. I guess Chad is forced to burn his redshirt in 2014 as he is unable to play this season due to NCAA transfer rules.
