LSU QB Ryan Perrilloux Transfers To Jacksonville State

[Sweets]

Troubled ex-LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux may have found a place where he can get the playing time he craves. Perrilloux has transferred to Jacksonville State, where he will have the inside track for the starting quarterback job next season. Perrilloux was dismissed from LSU earlier this month after repeated off-the-field problems. The Gamecocks do not have a scholarship quarterback on their roster and since Perrilloux is transferring to a Football Championship Subdivision team, he won't have to sit out next season. He has two years of eligibility remaining. "Basically, I just see this as a second opportunity to be successful," Perrilloux told The Birmingham News. Jacksonville State coach Jack Crowe spoke to the family of Perrilloux earlier this month about the possibility of transferring to the school. Crowe also spoke with LSU coach Les Miles, who explained Perrilloux's situation to Crowe. "Les was very kind to spend quite a bit of time explaining the situation to me," Crowe told The Associated Press. "He's very optimistic about him being a successful player and a successful student-athlete."
