The players have probably known this was coming, but you typically don’t see announcements like this from players or coaching changes the day before the last game of the regular season against an in-state rival for a reason. I just see no benefit from him doing it now instead of after the game tomorrow.Who do you think he is "distracting"? I expect it is only we reactionaries here on VolNation.
So how does this work? Will we get an extra spot for him? Or did he leave too early?
Too early. Dec 19 is the target date.
He definitely quit on the team and didn’t bother attending classes. He was quietly suspended due to academics. He’s no VFL for sure.Don’t let the door hit you on the way out you loser. There’s no “ ME” in Team and you are the ultimate Me type of player we dont need. Hope we never see “VFL” next to your name
This ain't it. He is good enough to start. Not sure what this is about most backs like a partner a 2 headed backfield and when he was healthy he was good unless he knows Hendon isn't coming back and the oline will be different or he don't like the rumors. But I'm sorry this feels like it's all about money it's a money grab he will go to who will pay him more and get ready for the NFL.Being recruited over? Realizing he’s not going to be “the man” at UT?
Has to come up in conversation. And the date may be Dec 15. In Evans case, if the academic rumors are true, he could have been under the wringer to make a decision before being ruled ineligible.Is it safe to say that someone in the UTAD has surely been tasked with creating a memo informing all scholarship athletes of Portal Rules? ...and how to not screw your teammates or the program!
Well.., for me, three things. The best of luck to Tiyon wherever he goes. In the link below, I see the words "intention to enter the portal" and "weighing his options." My advice and desire is that he leave immediately. Of all the times in the season, now is the most irreverent time for such an announcement. The honorable thing to do now, is to pack up and get out, and may a kind fate follows him.
Missed his family, so he went home for Thanksgiving and decided not to come back?doesn't like going to class. Very likely not eligible for bowl game and would not have been for next year.
misses his kid and homesick.
He likes the staff and likes his team mates. Happy in the offense. Has been hurt. Just doesn't like the school part.
Academics could be an issue for him going elsewhere. Most likely ends up at a UT-Chattanooga type school if he plays at all in the future.
In 50 years of following the Vols and college football have seen things like this hundreds of times. Some kids just don't have the desire to commit to what it takes to be a big time or even a small time, college football player. No reason to think Evans will change.
Wow. This will raise some eyebrows. You have to wonder if this is because of some NIL deal he can get somewhere else.
