Former MSU quarterback Connor Dixon is transferring to Duquesne, according to the Pittsburgh-based school’s official athletic Web site.

The sophomore signed a financial aid agreement and will be eligible to play for the team this fall, according to the site.

Dixon, a native of South Park, Pa., transferred from MSU in May. He was once considered a candidate to replace senior quarterback Brian Hoyer as the starter in 2009.

Less than a week after Dixon’s leave was granted, fellow sophomore quarterback Nick Foles announced his intentions to transfer. Foles hasn’t announced where he’ll continue his football career.
