QB Kam Bryant of App State planning to transfer for his final season. Will graduate from App State in May.

Under the graduate rule, he can go anywhere in FBS, FCS or sub-D1 and play immediately next season.

Wish him all the best and hope he lands somewhere that can get him on the field.

[TheMoody1]

Not surprised. Good luck Kam.

[Boone Goon]

It's too bad, but I know this is the best for him. Will miss seeing him in Black & Gold!

[sixtoes9134]

Not surprised. I guess he doesn't plan to go to graduate school at App.

[asu66]

A "top drawer" young man who can help another team somewhere while working on that MA!

[WVAPPeer]

I really hope this works for him because he is a good QB and if he goes the FCS route he definitely could lead a team to the playoffs ---

[SayYesToTheRock]

No hard feelings whatsoever. He's a classy young man, and I wish him the very best of luck.

Here's hoping he leads a team to stop NDSU from wining 5-straight.

[AppGrad78]

First-class person who handled the emergence of another quarterback with dignity and grace. Kam has a bright future in whatever direction life takes him.

[MJ1988]

Ok, I'll be the selfish one. Sure would have been nice to have him as a back up next year. I also wish him well.

And I'll be the practical one: one more scholarship available for a 2015 recruit. I'd be surprised if he's the only veteran backup who either transfers or just graduates and gives up his last year of eligibility.

Good luck to Kam. Always represented his school well.

Of course, Sumler has done the same thing.

BRYANT TO TRANSFER AFTER GRADUATION: Junior quarterback Kameron Bryant has elected to finish his collegiate playing career at another institution after he graduates from Appalachian State in May, head coach Scott Satterfield announced on Friday.

Bryant started 10 games at quarterback for the Mountaineers over the past two seasons and accounted for 3,203 yards of total offense (2,967 passing, 236 rushing) and 22 touchdowns (18 passing, four rushing) in 18 career games. He owns a 3-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio for his career (18 touchdowns, six interceptions).

In 2013, he started eight games and set an Appalachian State single-season record by completing 71.2 percent of his passes (237-of-333). He also threw 2,713 yards in ’13, the most in school history by a sophomore.

“I can’t say enough good things about Kam,” Satterfield said. “He’s a great player and an even better young man who represented Appalachian State the right way on the field, in the classroom and in the community. I am proud that he will graduate from Appalachian State in May and wish him nothing but the best for the rest of his playing career and beyond.”

Bryant is an honors student as a risk management and insurance major at Appalachian State. Since he is graduating from Appalachian in May, he will be immediately eligible to play wherever he chooses to pursue graduate studies. NCAA policy grants immediate eligibility to FBS student-athletes who transfer following graduation, even if they transfer to another FBS institution.

Bryant has one season of eligibility remaining but could choose to pursue a waiver for a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA. After redshirting as a true freshman in 2011, he played only 13 snaps as a redshirt freshman in 2012 before sustaining a season-ending knee injury.

“I want to say thanks to App State and all the fans for a great experience here,” Bryant said. “The relationships that I’ve built with my teammates is special and my time here has allowed me to grow on and off the field.”

Kam is the perfect example of a "scholar athlete". I wish him the best in football and in life.

[App91]

Hope that him bein here until grad will not hurt him at his next stop. Will not be able to participate in Spring practice there and get a jump on things. I really hope he does well.

I think you'll like JP.

Kam is class all around, so glad he will be graduating from App and wish the best for him wherever he goes.

[JMappfan5]

I wish Kam much success where ever he chooses to play football and pursue that Master's Degree. He is a tremendous young man with a great work ethic. He will be successful at every level of his life!

[kiddbrewer]

Best wishes to Kam. Best of luck to Kam. I KNOW Kam will be successful wherever he goes.

[spong]

I wish him the best!

I was hoping he would stay next year and try out another position. They couldn't do that this year because we were so weak at the QB position. He has the athleticism to get on the field perhaps as a starter.

Any chance he ends up at a near-by school like Western?

[BUTCH1991]

Who will be the 3rd QB next year? i would assume Lamb & Caruso at 1 & 2 and would think they would try to redshirt David.
