JACKSONVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Jacksonville State coach Jack Crowe has received permission to talk to former LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux.
LSU coach Les Miles kicked Perrilloux off the team after repeated off-the-field problems.
Crowe told The Birmingham News in a story Tuesday that he has checked into the matter and won't compromise the integrity of the JSU program.
Perrilloux can transfer to a Football Championship Subdivision team like Jacksonville State without having to sit out a year. The Gamecocks' 2007 starter, Cedric Johnson, was kicked off the team after the season for violating team rules.
Once one of the nation's top quarterback prospects, Perrilloux was suspended three times over the past year.
He was on the fringe of a counterfeiting investigation and was caught trying to enter a Baton Rouge casino with false identification. He also was involved in a nightclub fight in November. That caused him to miss a game at Alabama, though he was cleared of wrongdoing.
