Former TCU quarterback Foster Sawyer, a Fort Worth All Saints graduate, will enroll at Stephen F. Austin for the spring semester with immediate eligibility and plans to compete to be the Lumberjacks’ starting quarterback next fall, coach Clint Conque announced Monday.
Sawyer, who started two games in three seasons at TCU (including a redshirt year), will have two years of eligibility remaining at his new school. Because he is transferring from an FBS program to an FCS school, Sawyer is eligible to play next fall.
In a statement, Conque made it clear that SFA coaches envision Sawyer (6-foot-5, 230 pounds) competing for the starting job vacated by the graduation of senior quarterbacks Zach Conque and Hunter Taylor following the 2016 season.
