A Sun Belt program’s loss will turn into a Power Five program’s gain. Reportedly.
While there’s no official word yet from either school involved, FOXSports.com‘s Bruce Feldman is reporting that Joseph Scelfo has decided to transfer from South Alabama to North Carolina State. Scelfo would be headed to the Wolfpack as a graduate transfer, which means, of course, that he will be eligible to suit up for the ACC school in the 2016 season.
The upcoming season will be the senior’s final season of eligibility.
Scelfo had started 25 straight games at center for the Jaguars, including all 12 in 2015. At the end of that season, he was named first-team All-Sun Belt Conference by both the coaches and media.
Those a very good chance that Scelfo will open the 2016 season as NCSU’s starting center, replacing three-year starter Quinton Schooley.
