Vlad Emilien was a 4 star safety prospect on Rivals.com in the 2009 recruiting class. He signed with Michigan over offers from Ohio State, South Florida, Stanford, Wake Forest, and Wisconsin....among others. He decided to transfer out of Michigan after playing in just a couple of plays in the first game of his sophomore season in 2010. In October he visited and committed to Colorado, planning on enrolling there in January.
However, Colorado fired head football coach Dan Hawkins and Emilien was looking for a home once again. He talked to coaches at the University of Toledo after the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl and accepted a scholarship with the Rockets. He will start classes at Toledo on Monday, and he is planning on asking the NCAA to allow him to use his redshirt year for 2010 since he only played in a couple of plays. If he is granted this, he will be eligible in 2011 as a sophomore. If not, he will have to sit out the 2011 season and have two years of eligibility remaining for 2012 and 2013. As a true freshman in 2009, Emilien played in five games for the Wolverines.
