Johnson plans to transfer to Ragin' Cajuns

Still has to sit out regardless of the sport. If he transferred from Tulsa as a regular student to UL only to be a walk-on for the football team he would still have to sit out a year.

Not necessarily true. Ray Shipman (a former Cajuns basketball recruit) left Florida's basketball program to play football at UCF a few years ago. He was allowed to play football immediately at UCF because it had been at least two years since he had played the sport and was a college basketball player at Florida.

On his profile it said he sat out 2010 due to NCAA transfer rules. LINK

The wording in my original post was not accurate. (I saw the info during a late-night/early morning reading.) UCF found out seven weeks into the 2010 season he COULD play, but the coaches didn't want to burn the year for him to play in a few contests so he stuck with the redshirt. See the paragraph from a story on the UCF website:

"Shipman marvels at how far he's come in less than a year's time. After transferring from Florida and changing sports, he was originally ruled ineligible for last season. But that changed seven weeks into the season when UCF's Compliance Department determined that Shipman was eligible to play right away. He hadn't been through spring practice or fall camp, but had become somewhat familiar with the special teams sets by running scout team drills."

But he would be eligible to play basketball in the spring after his senior year of football if it is what both parties wanted.
