Kinne Transferring To Tulsa
TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Quarterback G.J. Kinne, who was fourth on the depth chart at Texas, signed scholarship papers Wednesday to transfer to Tulsa.

The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Kinne, a former quarterback at Canton and Gilmer, will have to sit out next season and will be a sophomore when he becomes eligible for the 2009 season.

"We're extremely excited to have a player of G.J.'s caliber. He has been a winner his whole life. For a player of his caliber to transfer to Tulsa speaks volumes about our program and where we're are at this point," Tulsa coach Todd Graham said.

"He had a lot of big-time scholarship offers out of high school."

Kinne, who redshirted last season, was behind starter Colt McCoy and sophomores John Chiles and Sherrod Harris in the Longhorns' quarterback competition. He joins a crowded quarterback situation at Tulsa, which led the nation in offense last year.
