Former Missouri quarterback Maty Mauk is preparing to play his final college football season at the Football Championship Subdivision level.

Mauk has signed an athletic grant-in-aid agreement with Eastern Kentucky, an EKU team spokesman confirmed Friday. Mauk will be eligible to play immediately for the Colonels and has one year of eligibility remaining.

Mauk graduated last weekend, meaning he would�ve been eligible to play his final season at a Football Bowl Subdivision school under the NCAA�s graduate transfer rules. Instead, he�ll head to the Ohio Valley Conference school located in Richmond, Ky., which is about four hours south of his hometown of Kenton, Ohio.

�Officially done in Columbia and ready to start the next chapter,� Mauk wrote in an Instagram post Monday.

Unlike a National Letter of Intent, which binds an athlete to the school, a grant-in-aid agreement guarantees the school�s scholarship offer to the athlete.

Mauk was dismissed from Missouri�s program on Jan. 28 after his third suspension in a four-month span.
