LSU QB Chris Garrett to transfer

Quarterback Chris Garrett plans to transfer to another school for the 2010 football season, LSU coach Les Miles confirmed. "We wish Chris the best," Miles said in a release by LSU's sports information department. "There are no hard feelings. Chris is a good kid. We hope he has success wherever he ends up." Garrett (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) would have to sit out the 2010 season if he transfers to another upper division school. He could play this season should he transfer to a lower division school. Garrett, who would have been a redshirt freshman at LSU in 2010, signed with LSU in February of 2009 out of Tupelo High in Tupelo, Miss., as the No. 18-ranked, pro-style quarterback in the nation, according to Rivals.com, and the No. 13 overall prospect in Mississippi. He did not play last season and was redshirted.LSU's coaching staff did not have major plans for Garrett this season as he was third string behind 2009 starter Jordan Jefferson, who will be a junior this season, and No. 2 quarterback Jarrett Lee, who will also be a junior and was the starter in 2008. Garrett attempted only four passes in the spring game last March, completing one for 14 yards, and had one rush for 6 yards.
