I know I left it, now its time to pick this one up, while at the Spring game at Rice, Hairston was talking with the staff that day, before the Spring game, about the transfer.
LSU kicker transfers to Rice
Posted by John Taylor on July 21, 2014, 11:41 PM EDT
In a press release Monday, Rice announced that
James Hairston has transferred into the Owls football program. Hairston had spent the past three seasons at LSU as the Tigers’ kickoff specialist.
A desire to kick field goals and extra points led Hairston to Rice, where his grandfather (1953-55) and an uncle (1993-95) were three-year letter winners on the football team.
Because Hairston received a degree from LSU this past May, he will be eligible to play for Rice immediately in 2014. Barring a serious injury that leads to a medical waiver, this upcoming season will serve as Hairston’s last year of collegiate eligibility.
Congrats to James, best of luck.
