HOUSTON - Former University of Houston quarterback Blake Joseph told FOX 26 Sports Wednesday he is transferring to Sam Houston St. where he will play his final year of eligibility.

"I am going to Sam Houston St.," Joseph said. "I feel good about my decision. I am ready to go there and help them anyway I can."

Joseph graduated this month from Houston with a degree in sports administration. Since he has completed his undergraduate work and still has one year of eligibility left, Joseph has the right to transfer
and play immediately without having to sit out a year.

"It feels great to graduate," Joseph said. "It's kind of bitter-sweet. I loved everything about Houston. I am happy I got my degree."

At Houston Joseph played in 22 games, starting five, and threw for nearly 1600 yards and 10 touchdowns.

"I hit it off with (Sam Houston St. head coach Todd) Coach Whitten. "I really liked him.

"I am going to try to fill Rhett's shoes."

Joseph is referring to former Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar who also transferred to Sam Houston St.

In two years with the Bearkats Bomar became the school's all-time leading passer (5562 yards) and was taken in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the New York Giants.

Good to see a Bearkat posting. The SHSU fans have been quiet for a little while. Stay and post its good to have more Southland posters.

It appears Whitten has taken a page from Bobby Hauck's playbook.

Congrats to Sam Houstan for getting a pretty good QB. Yeah he is pulling a Bobby Hauk but i dont blame the Qb for transferring as he is backing up the defininte and very good starter Casen Keenum
