Something had to give in the QB room. I wish him much success

 

[johncu]

Can't say I'm too surprised. Neither the school or the team seemed like the best fit, at times. Hopefully he is successful wherever he chooses to go.

 

[TechAKnee]

Smart move if it wants to be a QB. However, his path to a potential career at the next level requires a position change. His decision to make. Good luck to the young man.

Confirmation that ND was our last game.

Because our 3rd string QB didn't feel like grinding out the rest of the season just to sit the bench and watch his team get stomped?

Is he transferring with a degree? I certainly hope so. I really hope all the best for him.

highly doubtful... he is a RSoph (3rd year in program) and he had a lot of struggle with grades in his first year.

 

[The Champ]

Heard the final straw were his struggles in kickball practice yesterday; he was behind Luke Johns, Wesley Wells and Jack Coco in the batting order. Something had to give

Well, crap. I hope he lands somewhere he can be successful.

I wouldn't mind seeing him at Ga Southern.

 

[00Burdell]

I wish nothing but the best for him - played his behind off under less than ideal circumstances.

JMU incoming.

I think about these the trajectories of most transfers, and it's really sad. Think of the excitement that greeted his signing, the acclaim he had among the fan base, and his promising initial play. But a change of coaches, a change of systems, some new competition comes in, and next thing you know you're having to transfer 'down the ranks' to try to get some playing time. These kids really love playing football.

We wasted his career, I hope he kills it wherever he goes

Dang. This is some wistful stuff!

Big disagree. He still has 3 years of eligibility- how did we waste his career?

He is a great ATH, but a well below average arm talent. Not a great fit in a pro style offense. It would be surprising if he found success at the QB position on the power 5 level.

JG's a warrior. I get it, but I hate losing players like him. Sims needs to remember he's still got Yates and Gleason hot on his heels.

I think he’d be a good fit in a program like that.

And one or two incoming QBs next year.
