Per his Twitter

Just thought this would be interesting for the board. No word on where to yet.

Yep or UH. He made it clear he didn't want to go to LSU. We didn't fit his style. He probably would have been a corner. I don't blame him.

He'd be a good DB. He's not afraid to tackle. He was one of their leading tacklers on special teams.

Was weird how his dad came on td and hyped Kirk up for an LSU offer and when he got it he just disappeared. He could've been special as a db or safety here at LSU. No idea what gets in people's minds when they have a great opportunity in their own neighborhood at LSU.

I always said he was an NFL player as a safety. I wonder where he'll end up.

Is this the kid who had a family member on here who kept talking about how LSU needed to offer him bad and when he got the offer the guy was never heard from again?

He mentioned family reasons led to his transfer. Does this force him to stay home?

Food for thought, Coach Rebowe at Nicholls is a Norco native and used to coach at DHS. And Kirk could play immediately there.
Also wouldnt be surprised to see him land at any other school in texas or louisiana, kid is a freak

He would be an unreal get for Nicholls State. If I was Rebowe I would at least give him a call. I don't think there is a snowballs chance in hell he would come down here though.

At least closer to home. Can't see him going to a place like Nicholls. Got to be BIG 12 or SEC I would think, but who knows.

Oregon's db coach told him the same thing. His future was at safety. I think he got passed up by Dillon Mitchell, an EE true frosh, and was somewhere between 5-7 on our WR depth chart. He wasn't going to start for Oregon this year and next year his shot was only in the slot and if Charles Nelson moves on after three years.
