If a player was a walk-on at a Division I school and transfers before the season starts, do they still have to sit out a year?

If he transfers before the semester, and begins at his new school second semester, he will have to sit out of the fall season at the new school but be eligible for the spring season.

I believe that mid-year transfers can legally practice beginning in the fall. The one year sit out applies to competition. There probably are significant practical issues with mid year transfers, including meeting academic progress requirements.
