Memphis will have the services of Brady White for a little while longer than initially thought.
When White grad transferred from Arizona State to Memphis in January of 2018, it was thought that the quarterback would have two seasons of eligibility to use with the Tigers. Thursday, however, head coach Mike Norvell confirmed that White has been granted a sixth year of eligibility because of medical issues at ASU.
As a result, White will be eligible to play for the Tigers in both 2019 and 2020.
Big news for Memphis: Mike Norvell tells me QB Brady White has been granted another year of eligibility in 2020, so he has two seasons left.
