Fast-forward a month to March 24, and head coach Gene Chizik stated that Rollison was “still in school” and attributed all of the transfer talk as just “external hearsay”.
Today, nearly two months later, that “external hearsay” officially came to fruition.
According to the Mobile Press-Register, Auburn confirmed on Wednesday that Rollison is indeed transferring from The Plains.

Rollison was a high-profile member of Auburn’s outstanding 2009 class, coming in as a four-star recruit and the No. 2 dual-threat QB in the country.
