That was my thought. Get him to a TAPPS school. He could still play then. UIL is very strict on transfer rules. Totally different sport and circumstance, but Micah Gibbs had to sit out his senior year when he moved from Austin to Houston.

The transfer rules really aren't that strict. The two AD's just have to sign off allowing the player to play at their new school. So if his old coach/AD is butthurt then he may not play for awhile.

Obviously, if a player moves schools for what is assumed to be just for athletic reasons (which is almost impossible to prove) a school within the district can make a complaint and the UIL will look into it.

The rules are only as strict as the two schools that are involved want them to be.

Kaegun Williams, one of the better RB's in the class of 2016 just transferred from Stephenville to Cedar Hill with literally no issues, the two coaches just signed and he was gone. The kid was the best player at Stephenville which is typically a powerhouse in 4A in Texas, and he transferred to the back to back 6A state champions. If that happened without incident then that tells you all you need to know about the transfer rules here.
