Unbeknownst to many, one of the handful of Michigan State transfers this past offseason had already quietly found a home.
As noted by mlive.com, Darien Tipps-Clemons is now playing his collegiate football for Eastern Kentucky. As the Colonels play at the FCS level, the linebacker was eligible to play immediately this season.
Tipps-Clemons has played in all three games in 2018 for the Colonels, and has been credited, per the team’s official website, with three tackles, one quarterback hit and one blocked kick.
In late February of this year, Tipps-Clemons announced via Twitter that he had decided to transfer from Michigan State.
A three-star member of the Spartans’ 2017 recruiting class, Tipps-Clemons was rated as the No. 45 player at any position in the state of Ohio. He took a redshirt as a true freshman.
Including this season, Tipps-Clemons will have three years of eligibility he can use.
