Looks like he is leaving as a grad transfer. Bummer.
 
He has looked pretty good out there. Does make sense to broaden your horizons when getting a master's degree
 
Good luck to Kaleb. He was a good player for us and glad he got that degree. He should land in a good spot and hopefully not have to share so many snaps.
 
I imagine we'd have been happy to keep him, but grad transfers make a lot of sense for many players.

Good player. Seemed to take a step back this year, like most of our secondary. I think he’s a better fit for a traditional safety spot vs trying to stay with Syracuse’s slot receiver in man-to-man from the nickle

Agree. With Kenyatta Watson transferring in, we may see him at corner and have Tre take on that nickel role more.
 
Loved watching him play. Played hard and hit hard. Hope he lands in a good spot.

I think that the portal, while helpful to the cause now, will end up being a net negative in a few years. Much like the one and dones destroyed Cremins’ building plans.

It's a stopgap while our babies grow up, since their is a vacuum in non-transfer senior numbers.

No idea how good he’d be at nickel, but he’s too slow to play outside in the NFL.

I thought the Nickle had to be really quick since you’re going to matchup with more small slot WRs. A boundry corner has the benefit of the sideline, and is more likely to be dropping into a 2 or 3 deep shell anyway. That’s where you want a physical corner that understands leverage and can play the ball which Tre does pretty well.

Right now the portal is propping up a slip in recruiting.

Pretty sure Johnson recruited all the people who should be non-transfer seniors right now, and the year before, and the year before.

The slip happened on your hero's watch. We are just repairing the damage.
