Transfers are becoming more prevalent on a yearly basis in college football, and the changing of schools can include players who were thought to be the nation’s best during their time in high school. Will a change of scenery lead to some former stars living up to their rankings? We take a look at five former five-stars who are set to re-emerge at new programs this fall.
Thomas Tyner -- Oregon to Oregon State
Tyner is probably the most unusual name on this list, having been a five-star all the way back in 2013 and not having seen the field since the end of the 2014 season. Tyner, who was ranked as a five-star in the same class as Derrick Henry and Ezekiel Elliott, rushed for 1,284 yards and 14 touchdowns at Oregon during his first two seasons before medically retiring following a shoulder injury. Tyner essentially vanished from the football scene after that, attending classes at Oregon as a regular student. However earlier this year he elected to transfer to Oregon State and revive his career with the Beavers. Nobody quite knows what to expect from Tyner, but if and when he sees the field in Corvallis it will add another layer to the storied rivalry between the two programs.
