Looks like it's official... Star Jackson to Ga. St.

Former Alabama quarterback Star Jackson has elected to transfer to Georgia State for the final three years of his collegiate career, Errick Lowe, Jackson's coach at Lake Worth (Fla.) High School, confirmed today to the Press-Register.

Jackson spent the weekend looking for an apartment in Atlanta and will enroll in summer school at GSU, according to Lowe.

"He got his release (from Alabama) and everything," Lowe said.

Jackson asked for a release on his scholarship a few weeks ago. His departure was confirmed by Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban.

Jackson had a clear tie to the Atlanta school, since Georgia State's defensive backs coach is Anthony Midget, who was formerly on the Lake Worth staff during Jackson's prep career.

Since Georgia State is not currently an NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision team, Jackson would be eligible to play immediately.

"Nothing is going to be handed to him," Lowe said. "He's going to have to go in there and work his butt off. But if he works hard, he'll get a chance to play right away."

A new program directed by former Crimson Tide coach Bill Curry, Georgia State will visit Alabama during the 2010 season in a game currently scheduled for Nov. 20 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Jackson, a former Super 11 quarterback recruit, saw action in five games last season as a redshirt freshman for Alabama, completing 13 of 18 throws for 116 yards.
