Ah yes, that time of year when a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of boarding the transfer train.
The latest to see such a personnel shift is Oregon State, with Joah Robinett confirming via Twitter that he has decided to transfer from the Beavers. Additionally, the San Diego native confirmed that he has “decided to go back home in order to be close to family and continue playing football at” San Diego State.
Because of NCAA transfer rules, Robinett will be forced to sit out the 2017 season. He’ll then have three years of eligibility remaining, beginning in 2018.pic.twitter.com/MJsFQfkNGc

A three-star 2016 signee, Robinette was credited with five tackles in two games as a true freshman at outside linebacker before a shoulder injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season. The 6-8, 236-pound sophomore, who also missed spring practice because of the injury, was slated to move from defense to tight end when the Beavers kicked off summer camp in August.
