Seems bad. Someone help me not be sad.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Wants a bigger bag probably. This is what CFB is now. How long will the fans stay interested?

[utvolpj]

That doesn't make sense. Why wouldn't he just go pro?

January 2022?

 

[OrangeTsar]

Wonder why?

 

[Swiftybaby]

There was talk of it last season and he actually did it in 21. I guess he just doesn’t wanna be here. Best of luck to him

Anybody else notice the date at the bottom of the post? January, 2022

Sorry, I was just looking for a tweet. But he has entered the portal.

 

[MiramarVol]

My guess is that it want playing time. Maybe Bama, LSU, or UGa has asked for his services. He did this last year too didnt he? Or was that the year before?

He's in the Portal. See post #3.

Probably will anyway. Think this is just about keeping options open

 

[VOLfrombama]

I don't really understand the move unless he is just keeping options open until after the combine.

 

[Doberman]

I hate what college football has become.

 

[Majors]

He may have presented a NIL number and was told that wouldn’t happen. I see it as freed up money for Pearce/Sampson

 

[RockyTop140]

Probably a negotiating tactic to make UT have to match the highest bidder.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Just checking, VFL status is revoked in these situations, right?

 

[lukeneyland]

I’m hoping we make him rich and he decides to stay.

 

[MontyPython]

WTF.

He had an amazing season. Apparently 0.0 loyalty.

 

[BP4Prez]

I’m guessing they are freeing up money to spread elsewhere. He did this a year or two ago and probably got a pretty good sum.

I expected him to go pro anyways.

Tennessee needs to let him walk. This is twice, which means his heart is not really in Tennessee football and he will be a disease to the team. I’m sure his draft stock took a hit with his mediocre play and upset that Pearce is getting the accolades instead of him. CJH needs to make a clear statement with this situation and tell him to clean out his locker and take a hike.

Not many kids play the sport anymore for the name on the front.

Idk, I thought he had a good year. Kid needs to stay. Probably just wants to get paid.
