Trey Quinn Opens Up About Transfer

Talented receiver Trey Quinn opens up about transfer from LSU - ANDREW ASTLEFORD
Wide receiver Trey Quinn has plenty to say about his transfer from LSU.
Quinn, who caught 22 passes for 276 yards in two seasons with the Tigers, transferred to SMU in May after his short stay in Baton Rouge. He had five catches for 83 yards last year. A former four-star prospect from Lake Charles, Louisiana, Quinn opened up about his feelings after moving to SMU in a post on DatBoot.com.
“I’m probably the most optimistic person about this whole deal,” Quinn told the website. “My dad was kind of like, ‘I don’t know how you put up with all this stuff.’ But I know, at the end of the day, God has a plan for me, and I’ve kinda bought into his plan and whatever he says goes goes, you know?”
Quinn said he felt the pull to attend LSU initially because “you go there because you’re born and raised in Louisiana. … You’re coming out of high school, and you see Odell (Beckham Jr.) and Jarvis (Landry) have so much success in their home state and how they were treated, and it’s kind of hard not to want to do that.”
That perspective is understandable, and Quinn likely hasn’t been alone in feeling that way. However, he decided LSU wasn’t the place for him when he announced his intention to leave the program in February. He must sit out the 2016 season, but he has two more years of eligibility left.
Quinn sounds content with the choice he has made.
“But there’s always light at the end of the tunnel,” he told DatBoot.com. “It’s just whether you wanna stay on the train or hop off. I’m staying on the train and continuing the path.
“I think if I had a message for any recruit coming out of high school, it’s to find that one school that you feel comfortable with that they’re gonna be there with you through thick and thin, regardless of the outcome on Saturday. I think that’s what I found the second time around.”
You can’t fault a player for trying to find a better fit for himself. Still, it’s always revealing to hear the reasons behind a change.

That is good advice. I'm sad he didn't find it at LSU. Hopefully he does at SMU.

If that's a reason then...sure I guess.

Help with translation please. Does this mean "find a school where if you drop passes against a team like Alabama you won't be permanently placed in the dog house"

Yep and as a Blue Chip recruit, you should want to play at the highest level and compete at that same level. When you don't succeed, whether its 1 game or one possession, you may lose the opportunity at a second chance. You have to excel because there is always someone as good as you that is ready to take your position.
If I can recall, he dropped a good number of passes and after being given a few chances, he was pulled for someone else. Competition is just that. If you can't do it, someone else will be given the opportunity.
I definitely don't fault the kid for transferring and Good luck to him at SMU.

I guess I'm missing it. I still don't understand what his reason was for leaving other than the only obvious thing I could conclude prior to reading this, which is the depth chart.

Well once Landry/Odell left ..Quinn COULD have been a good WR. I know he dropped some but ANY WR that comes to LSU has to WAIT his chance to get the ball with BIG TEN OLE BALL coach Les around... There is ZERO reason this team should lose a game EXCEPT for Mr. Les Miles........... There are MAYBE two teams with equal talent as LSU. Bama and Ohio State... The rest can take a hike...

The article really didn't give specifics as to why...
Reading between the lines, I think he regretted signing with LSU. I followed his recruitment throughout HS and he was a big time Clemson lean. Probably felt obkigated/pressured to sign with the local tigers, then watched Clemson build itself into a national contender. Watching 5'10 Hunter Renfrow go HAM against Bama probably didn't help.

I wish Trey the best of luck.
The picture of him crowdsurfing is iconic.
