Any chance he follows his DB coach to Georgia?
I’d def take him here, assuming he has the character and attitude Campbell wants.

I prefer getting the best guys on the field
Riley isn’t God shouldn’t be able to tell anyone where they can play or not play! Evidently he already did that with this kid at OU or the kid wouldn’t be transferring in the first place!
Either that, or he’s playing behind a five star, with another five star QB coming in behind him.
One of the two.
A millionaire coach shouldn’t have that kind of control on players that don’t want to play for you..........
“Shouldn’t”? Actually, transfer rules within conferences go back decades. In this case, the coach doesn’t want a QB with in depth, first hand knowledge of his offense feeding a coach like Patterson info.
Which is the reason there were (past tense) rules about transfers inside of conferences. Back in the day, Big Ten players had to sit out two years if they wanted to transfer inside the conference.
Nowadays, transfers are so commonplace the effect is diluted—and teams are benifeitting both directions.
That said, I don’t think that Max Duggan is going to be transferring to OU any time soon. But that would certainly erase Riley’s objections, wouldn’t it?
Well Young has been tweeting him like he did Amos. So warranted speculation?
A secondary consisting of Eisworth, Young, Johnson Jr. and Smith would be the best secondary in the country.
this article does a terrific job of ignoring what is best for the unpaid student athlete or considers his point of view at all.
Agree. I'm pro-player and not pro-coach. I hope Matt doesn't block a kid like this but I will proactively disagree with him, if he does.
I think if they've never played it should be different. You have no idea if they are going to be a good college player before they step foot on the field. These are young men and all of us have probably gotten into something and went uh-oh. Why punish someone that realizes they made a mistake and think somewhere else is a better fit? After you have an official season with a team, then I think that team should have a right to make you sit a year unless you are a grad transfer. Just my opinion.
It honestly would be up there. No one would talk about it as being one of the best, as that title will usually always go to Ohio State, LSU, or Bama secondaries.
If Smith comes:
CB: Johnson Jr. (2x HM All Big 12)
CB: Amos (the best FCS dback last year)
SS:Eisworth (3x 1st team All Big 12)
FS: Smith (3rd team All American, HM All Big 12
Star: Young (Big 12 FOY, HM All Big 12, FR All American)
That secondary is insane.
