Cody Brown in transfer portal

[NO SIR EEE]

I ain't gonna lie, I really wanted to see him in the orange and white, but as stated previously about the transfer portal: If you don't want to be at UT, then you need to enter it. Best of luck.

 

[Blackburn]

Good luck to Cody on finding a new football home.

Does the portal work for high school players.

Does the portal work for high school players.

He has signed so he is officially part of the team.

100% uga im sure

Well hi and bye.

He has signed so he is officially part of the team.

He can just ask out of his NLI, he doesn’t need to enter the portal unless UT won’t release him. To enter the portal, you have to be enrolled or the school won’t release you. Imagine he will get a release.

No, perhaps AU.

Do not blame him one bit in this pass heavy offense

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Don't blame him. He committed because he was a good fit for Pruitt's (outdated) offense. He's probably not quite as good of a fit for Heupel's.

He may eventually get his release but I am sure that the coaching staff are wanting to talk with him and try and persuade him to stay. If he doesn't want to stay then entering the portal is the fastest way out I would say.

Yeah, I hate that he has reached this decision, but at least he waited till our offensive staff was in place and he could make a fair analysis. I will assume he had discussions with his new head and position coaches. He is the quality and kind of back I fear behind championship level lines, but we may be in need of the all purpose and speed types. Not sure if workhorse types excel in CJH's system or not. Lots to learn.

I hope he goes outside the conference for sure.

Don’t blame him either, but RBs flourish in this offense, the run is a big factor in it.

Cody, if you’re going to transfer, you need to lose the VFL in your username

Another possibility: maybe he did talk to the Tennessee staff. Maybe this move is about fit.

p.s. He was careful in his wording to thank the coaches who recruited him. Not the current staff. This is reading a lot into a single sentence, but he may feel a bit spurned by Heupel & Co.

I’ve got a couple years, a few pounds, and much less athleticism on him.

The offense provides much better opportunities for RB than many believe. Both as a pass catching back and as a runner. I wish he'd wait and see because I think he will have a great chance to be really good in this offensive scheme.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Passing up a huge opportunity to play early and often... oh well

 

[Capt. Vol]

If he's transferring, it sounds like we were unwilling to release him from his NLI... do we lose a scholly because of that?

I doubt it, they are loaded at RB. Probably the Barn would be my guess.

The Heupel offense is a chip off the old Baylor offense from the early 2010s. It’s performed via a quick diagnosis of pre-snap space and then executed via a power run game inside or a one-on-one vertical shot outside. In an ideal world, they would love to use the one-high versus two-high binary against the defenses they play. When teams show a single-high safety against them, it means they are going to have access to vertical shots on the outside down the sideline. And when teams show a two-high safety against them, it’s the slot receivers who can now play in space.

It really isn’t. You need to go watch some UCF film. They run the ball quite a bit more than you would expect.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

Hate to lose him, but it's understandable, as he might not be the most ideal fit for Heupel's offense.

Sucks, though, that we lost the 2 RBs who were great fits for this offense to the portal before Heupel was even hired (Gray + Chandler).
