Drew O’Bryan leaves Western Kentucky, drops down to FCS level

Another day, another FBS player has transitioned away from his first college football home.

On his personal Twitter account recently, Drew O’Bryan acknowledged his decision to transfer from Western Kentucky. Additionally, he announced his next destination for good measure -- Eastern Kentucky.

The linebacker said he made the decision "[a]fter talking with my family and many prayers.”

After talking with my family and many prayers, I have decided to further my college career at Eastern Kentucky University! #GoBigE

As EKU plays at the Football Championship Subdivision level, O’Bryan will be eligible to play immediately for the Colonels in 2017.

O’Bryan was a two-star member of WKU’s 2016 recruiting class, rated as the No. 18 player at any position in the state of Kentucky. He took a redshirt as a true freshman.
