UPDATE Former Purdue QB Danny Etling Transferring to LSU

News broke Friday from multiple media outlets that former Purdue quarterback Danny Etling, who left the Boilermakers this spring, is visiting campus this weekend.

Etling was a four-star recruit in the class of 2013, who managed to start as a true freshman on a very bad Purdue team, but fell out of favor as a sophomore and has decided to move on. He's not a graduate transfer, so he'd have to sit out the 2015 season and have two more seasons of eligibility starting in 2016.

In short, this would largely be a depth move, one that wouldn't really benefit LSU this season (don't read into the timing, this visit had been in the works well before Thursday's incident with Anthony Jennings), but could help bridge the gap between the current QBs on the roster and Justin McMillan/Felipe Franks.
