That rule has changed and went into effect this year. He won't be getting a hardship. Blame all the kids and schools that made up BS about their transfers but it likely ain't happening.

Isn't there a 2 year waiting period to transfer to another SEC school if AU doesn't wave it?

Yes, if he isn't released, and no school in their right mind should release him, he will have to sit 2 years.

It is a shame that the kids that abused it have ruined it.
I think about those kids who find out their parents have a terminal illness and go to school so far away.
I was fortunate in that I learned my mother had terminal brain cancer before I accepted my academic scholarship to college. I was able to stay driving distance at a local University. If we had not found out for a few more months, I would have been halfway across the country and missed that precious limited time.

No, he's still under the NCAA 1 year sit policy. If he transfers at the end of December, he has to sit out next season no matter which FBS school he went to. He would be eligible to participate with team activities in the spring of '17. He could go JUCO and play a year too.
I believe he redshirted this year. So he'll sit out next year and have 3 to play 3 left.

Yes but we are talking about Auburn.

Nope, if Auburn does not release him from his scholly, and there's no reason they should, he will have to sit 2 years or go Jucco first.

Or He can pay his own way one year as a walk on... then go in scholarship the next year... he still wouldn't be eligible for 2016, but it's a (expensive) way around the two year deal.

I didn't see any stats on ESPN's page for him, my bad. I checked his stats on Auburn's site, he did play this year and not use a RS.

Yes, he can go JUCO 1 year like Cam and Swag and then transfer, but I haven't seen anything about him having to sit 2 full years according to SEC rules, do you have a link?
Here's what I've seen as far as transfer rules and the NCAA.

WHEN CAN I PLAY?
Generally, you need to spend one academic year at your new school as a full-time
student before you are eligible to compete. This time is called an academic year in
residence and is designed to allow you to become comfortable in
your new environment.
Requiring student-athletes to sit out of competition for a year after transferring
encourages them to make decisions motivated by academics as well as athletics.
Most student-athletes who are not eligible to compete immediately benefit from a
year to adjust to their new school and focus on their classes. Student-athletes who
must sit out for a year at their new school may practice with their new team and
receive an athletics scholarship if they were academically eligible when they left their
previous school.
For your academic year in residence to count, you must attend classes only at the
school where you plan to compete and you must be a full-time student (generally
at least 12 credit hours). You cannot meet this requirement by attending your new
school part time or by not attending school at all. Each school determines its own
full-time status, so check with the compliance department at your new school to
find out how many credit hours you need to take.
For a semester or quarter to count toward your academic year in residence, you
must enroll before the 12th day of class.

Nevermind
If Auburn put on a clinic about how to run a program, UT would trip over themselves trying to get a spot.

Let's be honest. No way he or his family would foot the bill.
