After failing to lock down a starting spot in training camp, sophomore defensive back Llyod Carrington decided to transfer from Pitt to be closer to his home in Texas.
However what wasn’t know then is that Carrington will be following former head coach Todd Graham to Arizona State, which by itself is mind boggling.
Carrington showed some promise last season as a freshman, earning some playing time and would have been in the rotation to get some playing time this year as well, especially given how bad the Panthers defense has been throughout the season’s first two weeks.
But how a player can follow a coach that abandoned his team once already via text message is something that’s very hard to figure out.
If you ever spoke to former coach Graham, he’s a car salesman coaching football and he must have put one heck of a sales pitch on a young kid like Carrington to convince him to follow him to Tempe.
He did not go out for varsity football until his senior year of high school, but impressed major-college recruiters with his size and speed. In seven games as a freshman, Carrington has two tackles.
Carrington must sit out this season, but has three years of eligibility left at Arizona State.
