As it turns out, Arizona State will benefit immediately from an intraconference transfer.
In mid-June, it was confirmed that Cody Shear, who announced a month earlier that he would be leaving Oregon, would be transferring to Arizona State to continue his collegiate playing career. It was originally thought that Shear would be forced to sit out the 2019 season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules; on the last day of the month of July, however, the offensive lineman took to his personal Twitter account to reveal that he has received a waiver from the NCAA that will allow him to take the field for the Sun Devils this coming season.
Including 2019, Shear will have three years of eligibility at his disposal.
A three-star member of the Ducks’ 2017 recruiting class, Shear was rated as the No. 10 player at any position in the state of Oregon. After taking a redshirt as a true freshman, the lineman didn’t see the field at all in 2018.
