Former Eastern Mississippi Community College starting quarterback John Franklin III has announced via his twitter account that he will be transferring to Florida Atlantic. Franklin will be the third EMCC player to join new head coach Lane Kiffin’s squad, following the arrival of De’Andre Johnson and Tim Bonner earlier in the year.

Franklin, who recently converted from quarterback to wide receiver at Auburn, will join an FAU roster thin at the wideout position.
