Trace Armstrong was headed to a great career at Arizona State. After his junior season in 1987, he was faced with a major decision: Transfer, or be done with his college career. After enrolling at ASU in 1984, it was determined that Armstrong’s high school GPA was miscalculated. Though it was not Armstrong’s fault the clerical error occurred, he was forced to sit out his freshman season. The NCAA eventually ruled that in order to regain his lost year of eligibility, he must play his senior season elsewhere. Armstrong switched to Florida , where he played in 1988 and was selected in the first round by the Chicago Bears in 1989.
