The Charleston Southern football program is getting a late Christmas present with former UAB quarterback Austin Brown expected to enroll in classes on Monday.

Brown will have two seasons of eligibility after spending three years (one as a redshirt) at UAB.

Brown was the Blazers' starting quarterback as a redshirt freshman in 2012, passing for 2,673 yards and 15 touchdowns while earning freshman all-conference honors in Conference USA.

Impressive. But he still needs people to block for him and people to throw to

[BJWilliams]

Eh...no guarantee that he turns out to be all that good of a gift for them. Just because you played FBS doesnt mean youll rock the FCS. Will see how he does once he actually sees game action

Come on. We know why Sly REALLY posted this article:

• 1. He's using the QB's name to subliminally remind us all about Austin.
  2. He thought he could be cool by posting anything mildly related to the state of Alabama & football.

(just kidding sly. )

I don't think anyone in the State of Alabama even remotely cares about Blazer football.

[alabama24]

Mostly true. You go because it's cheap and you have tickets. And because BAMA don't play till prime time.

From another thread...

Are we going to start a new thread for every FBS transfer?

[alabama24]

Affirmative. Traffic is down, must get clicks up... Even inadvertent ones.

This guy is actually going to play for another team in our conference. It's legit to discuss as opposed to the threads about FBS players who have simply announced they are going to transfer with no connection to LU whatsoever.

[BJWilliams]

Let's see if he even beats out the guys that are there. Just because you come from an FBS school doesnt mean you get handed the job as soon as you step onto campus (at least that should be the case).
