Backup quarterback Thomas Darrah will have some new teammates almost immediately after the BCS title game, but they won't be wearing crimson.

Darrah said he will transfer to Jacksonville State for next season. The walk-on has competed as a reserve along with Star Jackson and A.J.

I wanted to go ahead and finish out here because I've put a lot of time and effort in, and worked hard here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here.”
