Sharpe, a two-year starter, transferred from Wofford College in 2011. He ran the 40-yard-dash in 4.39 at a pro-day set up by the South Carolina College All Star bowl, which was hosted by North Greenville University.
"If feels great to be given an opportunity to continue to play football," Sharpe said in a statement released by the school. "Most guys don't get this opportunity, and I feel truly blessed. I've had a great supporting cast around me, that has always believed in me, and I am thankful for that."
