I don’t know, but seems like ours did a medical retiremnt.

Are you sure he’s in the portal?

Thanks.
He’s on the 247sports portal too.

Seems like you are right. He was recruited for our defense.

Weird. He wasn't on the team this season because he announced in April that he was medically retiring.

As for the position question, he was signed as a guy who could play on either side of the ball, but became an OT at Tennessee.

Probably took the “medical” in order to stay on scholarship a year. Now he might be fully recovered & feels he could play elsewhere.

Really hoped he would contribute in 26-27 after he signed. Can see where he got recruited over in this recent class for OT but thought he could be a factor at SDE.

I don't know if this is the case with him but many times, the medical staff at school A will not clear a player to return. They then go into the portal and see if another school will clear them. Pearce Spurlin is a TE from Georgia who medically retired two years ago with a heart issue. He has been cleared by his doctor and now will try to play somewhere.. It is true that medically retiring would keep the scholarship money coming..

I thought he had medically retired. Best of luck to the young man.

We will see some more enter the portal. Have to make room for better talent.

Thanks. I didn't know a few of these guys were in the portal. You hate to see they didn't stick with the program since they came in with promise.

True. I don't blame them though. Probably have a better shot at playing time somewhere else.

Lewis is the only one that hurts a little

It’s not always just their decision. They have been through post season assessment and if told a role they don’t care for it probably is better to see if something outside the program

Doing a good job at retaining the majority of our talent right now. That’s what most top teams try to do. Retain as much of the core as possible and hope you can pick up quality portal picks too replace departures and fill any void spots. GBO

Everyone knows you never go full retired!
