As I said...I have no problem with Auburn taking them. But don't say they have to walk on. Because the don't. When was the last time a questionable player got kicked off another team and he was forced to walk on at Auburn?
Every single time an SEC players transfers to another SEC school. Cory Grant just transferred from bama. Nothing more, nothing less. He was not allowed on scholarship at Auburn for one year. Mike Blakely only went through one spring at UF, IIRC. He transferred to Auburn and couldn't be on scholarship for a year.
No. They did not walk on. they were ineligible to play. BIG difference. Walk on means they play without a scholarship. (More or less)
If you check the Bios on the Auburn web site it says they sat out the year to satisfy NCAA transfer rules....they did NOT walk on.

They were walk-ons. They were able to practice with the team, but are not allowed to be on scholarship. If you practice, you are a part of the team. If you are not on scholarship, you are a walk-on. You also lose a year of eligibility. Transferring to another SEC school, for whatever reason, means you can't be on scholarship the first year. He could get a scholarship immediately if he goes to any out of conference school.

Found this in a 2012 article *Chizik awarded three walk-on scholarships: running back Corey Grant, defensive back Trent Fisher and snapper Jake Lembke. “All three of those guys have done a great job here,” Chizik said.
I don't know what that means exactly, but it sounds like Grant had been there as a walk-on without a scholarship, at least for some time.
