OSU helps former running back J.D. King gain immediate eligibility at Georgia Southern

Former Oklahoma State running back J.D. King was granted immediate eligibility at Georgia Southern, the school has announced.

King played at OSU as a true freshman and sophomore, but chose to leave the program last winter, ultimately returning to his home state of Georgia.

The school press release announcing King's immediate eligibility included credit to OSU for its help in the process.

"Oklahoma State's Athletic Department provided a letter on King's behalf supporting his decision to leave the program which was included in the original waiver application," the release said.

King rushed for more than 600 yards in his two seasons at OSU, primarily backing up Justice Hill.
