Kids just want handouts these days. They do not want to work for anything.
Heard came here with the explicit intention to compete with Will Campbell (a future top 10 pick) and to win that battle. That doesn’t scream looking for a handout to me.
He didn’t win that battle, and he now knows he won’t be able to usurp one of the best Olineman in the nation. He wants to play real game reps so he can keep getting better and eventually become a pro. Can’t blame the kid if he wants to pursue those reps. He believed in himself, and he chose to come in and compete with an absolute stud. But I suspect he’s since realized that he’s just simply not as good as the guy in front of him. Can’t really blame him for looking for other opportunities once that realization became unavoidable.
Obviously I still hope we retain him and he becomes a stud after Campbell graduates. But if not, I can’t really hold it against him. This one doesn’t feel like NIL chasing to me.

Why can't you hold it against him? He quit on his team as an ultimatum.
I have no issue with a player leaving for the portal. But if you want to leave, then leave. Or if you want more money, say "after the bowl I'm going to ask for more money"
But skipping the bowl as a negotiating tactic is a deal-breaker for me.

I’m guessing he doesn’t want to play guard
Tackle is the premium position

That may be the most naive take on this situation that I’ve seen yet.

Don’t know why the downvotes on this. The dude is a stud and it’s unfortunate we have two first rounders at tackle already. He came to compete and he didn’t win the job.

If only there was more than 1 OL position where he could compete.
