NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Quarterback Patrick Witt, who left the Cornhuskers of Nebraska before the start of spring practice, has decided to transfer to Yale.
The third-year sophomore will have three years of eligibility.
Witt had been expected to compete for the starting Nebraska job this season.
Witt told the New Haven Register that Yale was a great fit for him.
He says his transfer is a combination of things, especially the quality of education.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Witt is a resident of Wylie, Texas.
Witt says Nebraska coach Bo Pelini has been supportive and that the Nebraska staff “did a great job of helping me after I made the decision to find Yale, get connected.”
