Smith to transfer to Memphis
Former Miami backup quarterback Cannon Smith will play for his hometown Memphis Tigers.
Smith, who announced his plans to transfer from Miami last week, will enroll at Memphis, his father, Fred Smith, told multiple media outlets.
"Cannon decided he will play for Memphis," Smith, who is the founder and CEO of FedEx, texted to the Miami Herald.
Cannon Smith will sit out this season per NCAA rules and will have three years of eligibility remaining at Memphis.
Smith completed his only pass last season, for two yards.
He is expected to practice with the Tigers for the first time on Tuesday.
