Auburn supports Joey Gatewood’s transfer waiver

The Kentucky Wildcats are still waiting to see if Joey Gatewood will be eligible to play next season, if there is one.

The former Auburn Tigers QB transferred to UK this past January, and the school recently applied for a transfer waiver to get him eligible for the 2020 college football season.

When players transfer, one big key to the NCAA granting a transfer waiver involves the prior school supporting said player being eligible at his new school.

Because he transferred to a school within the SEC, one that Auburn actually plays next season when the Wildcats visit Jordan-Hare Stadium, there was doubt if the Tigers would actually support Gatewood being eligible and potentially facing them next season.
