Former Kansas Jayhawks quarterback Brock Berglund has decided to continue his football career at the junior college level after entertaining the idea of transferring to an FBS school, as Ryan Casey of the Denver Post writes. Berglund, a northern Colorado native, says that he will enroll at Scottsdale Community College in Arizona in the hopes of reigniting his career.
As Casey writes, Berglund wanted to transfer to an FBS school, ideally in the Pac-12, but he was ineligible after learning that an error in his class schedule left him two credits short of qualification. Berglund believes that the error was made by Kansas after it failed to properly follow all NCAA rules in putting together his academic schedule.
By transferring to a junior college, Berglund will be eligible to play immediately at Scottsdale. If he had transferred to a Division I school, he wouldn't have been able to receive a scholarship for a full calendar year in addition to being academically ineligible for next season.

Ex-Kansas Jayhawks quarterback Brock Berglund is in high demand across the country as various schools look to shore up their depth at the position. But Berglund— a northern Colorado native who decided to leave Kansas after the hiring of new head coach Charlie Weis— told the AP this week that he will take his time in deciding on his future school.

Former Valor Christian (CO) quarterback Brock Berglund may be close to choosing a new school, having received his release from the Kansas Jayhawks back in January. The North Texas Mean Green or the Florida Int. Golden Panthers appear to be finalists for the quarterback, according to College Football Talk.
According to CFT's reports, Berglund attended a Mean Green practice on Friday and had apparently been in the state on Thursday night (CFT mentions this tweet). His parents would prefer their son head to North Texas since it is closer to their home state of Colorado.
Berglund had a third-degree assault charge dropped, which helped play into his decision to leave the program. New head coach Charlie Weis eventually relented on not releasing Berglund from his scholarship, but with the addition of BYU transfer Jake Heaps and Notre Dame transfer Dayne Crist, there was no point in keeping Berglund around.

Former Valor Christian (CO) quarterback Brock Berglund has been granted a release from the Kansas Jayhawks and will be able to transfer elsewhere to continue his football career.
Berglund told the AP that he's chatted with the coaching staffs of the Miami Hurricanes, UCLA Bruins, UNLV Rebels and Utah Utes. He's also set to take an official visit with the Mississippi Rebels, a school that itself is starting over with a new head coach who is likely considering his quarterback position something close to a clean slate.
Berglund committed to play for the Colorado Buffaloes out of high school, but backed out of that commitment when the school fired Dan Hawkins. Berglund told the AP that Hawkins' replacement, current head coach Jon Embree, has yet to reach out to him. In 2012, Embree signed Shane Dillon, an impending freshman quarterback from California that Rivals rated as the No. 13 QB in the 2012 class. Embree also currently has a commitment from Rivals four-star QB Sefo Liufau for the 2013 class.
