Matthew Burrell announced a few weeks ago that he was transferring from Ohio State, but now he has a destination: Sam Houston State.
By transferring to an FCS program, the former four-star interior lineman will be eligible to play immediately and will not have to sit out a year.
Not sitting out... Committed & Playing football next year @ Sam Houston State

Though he came to Ohio State as one of the highest-rated linemen in the country, Burrell was never able to crack the starting lineup, losing the backup guard job to Demetrius Knox last season and the center spot to Brady Taylor and Josh Myers this season.
