After beginning his collegiate career in the Big Ten West, Kyle Penniston will continue it in that conference’s other division.
The 6-4, 243-pound tight end used his personal Twitter account to reveal Tuesday evening that he has decided to use his final season of eligibility at Rutgers. Penniston had decided to transfer from Wisconsin earlier this offseason.
As he’s already graduated from UW, he’ll be eligible immediately at RU despite it being an intra-conference move.
Excited to announce I have officially signed to play my final year of eligibility at Rutgers University while pursuing a master’s degree in Global Sports Business! ⚔️🛡 @RFootball @CoachNunz @CoachChrisAsh @RUGlobalSports
