As a result of the sanctions, seniors are free to transfer without having to sit out the 2019 season. The void at quarterback was addressed before Lock departed when Kelly Bryant announced he was transferring to Mizzou in early December. He took advantage of the new four-game redshirt rule when he left Clemson after losing his job to freshman Trevor Lawrence. The senior led the Tigers in tackles last season and his 8.6 tackles per game is third-most among returning SEC linebackers. It all adds up for the folks at Mizzou having much to look forward, especially if the clouds of uncertainty yield clear sky given a successful appeal.
