Did Jameis Winston break transfer news on his Instagram account?
Houston quarterback John O'Korn is seeking a transfer. Was his new school revealed on Jameis Winston's Instagram account?
You're forgiven if you're immediately wondering how those two sentences fit together. We'll explain.
Winston was with O'Korn while attending Lakewood Church, the church of famous pastor Joel Osteen. The Florida State quarterback and likely high pick in the 2015 NFL draft posted a picture of the two together (and a picture of himself with Osteen) to his Instagram account with the following caption:
S/O to my dawg @johnokorn5 the next great QB at the University of Texas! for the great experience of attending @lakewoodchurch and having the honor to meet Mr. Joel Osteen #heavilyFavored
Here's the picture.
O'Korn transferring to Texas wouldn't be a huge surprise. The Longhorns have been mentioned as one of his possible landing spots and Texas is certainly in need of a quarterback. Tyrone Swoopes struggled in 2014 after replacing David Ash, who was forced to retire because of concussions.
However, Texas may not be recruiting him.
Sources have told @OB_JasonS and I that the #Longhorns are NOT interested in Houston QB John O'Korn. Don't expect him at Texas #HookEm

O'Korn started the 2014 season as Houston's quarterback but lost his job to former receiver Greg Ward, who became the Cougars' starter as the season went on. O'Korn's last game as a starter was against UCF in October.
He finished the season 90-173 passing for 951 yards and threw for six touchdowns and eight interceptions.
