Bummed on this one. I thought he would get a chance to shine this year to fill in Higgins' role. From his tape and the limited snaps he got, it looked like he had good size and hands. I was hoping he'd excel with an expanded role and after getting a year in the program.
I think he got jumped by Sowell. With Eskikdsen also doing well, and Dom Overby looming, and Karon Brookins arriving this summer—all outside guys—there are only so many balls to go around.

Guessing he’ll go somewhere he can be the main man.

I thought he could be a dude, at one point. Felt like they tried to get him on the field a good amount at the end of last year, but don’t recall him making a huge impact by any means

Given there are going to be ~20 more guys leaving, are we going to have ~20 more threads?

A lot of the players are saying that Eskildsen had a tremendous spring camp.

Wish him luck. With the steep dropoff after Higgins/Noel last year in the WR room, I didn't think he'd be more of a depth piece this year.

So that makes 13 guys into the portal since the season ended. Looks like we need to trim another 18 yet. Every school is going through this same thing as this is the transition year to 105 players.
If I ran this as a business and I had to pay every employee, seems like i could get under 105 to keep just the best guys to play the games. Look at the NFL. Although I admit, CMC seems to find a way to get just about everyone involved. So maybe he really wants all 105.
