Ohio State QB To Transfer TO GSU

Ohio State #2 quarterback (and Fort Valley, Georgia native) Antonio Hinton is expected to transfer to Georgia Southern and compete for the starting job. The announcement could come as early as this weekend. His coach at Peach County High, Rance Gillespie, is now the offensive coordinator at GSU.

This kid came out of high school with huge potential, and was expected to become a star at Ohio State. Columbus, Ohio is a long way from Fort Valley, and last year Hinton got into off-the-field trouble. It looks like he's trying to make his situation better by coming back to Georgia, being close to family and reuniting with Gillespie. He was red-shirted in 2006, so he's still got three years of eligibility remaining. Hinton is a dual-threat quarterback, and could fill the hole left by Jayson Foster.
