So sad. The guy could have thousands of dollars in NIL money and now he will be incarcerated.

We definitely need Psycho wards in this country to help troubled youth.

Lazy work ethic. With his 40 time dude should have never been caught.

GA Fans: A change of scenery and LSU didn't have the resources to help the young man and Kirby know how to help him.

Nebraska fans: A change of scenery and Matt Rhule knows how to handle a kid like this where Kirby didn't have the resources to help him.

LSU Fans:

He is who we thought he was. A kid with severe bipolar disorder who can’t function in society. It’s sad but true. He has no shot at a decent life.

Yes, I can relate. I have a 21 year old son who can't get out of his own way either. I agree, it's very sad.
Get him tested for ADHD asap.

He’ll be 26 in five years. As long as he doesn’t do too much damage between now and then, it should get a lot better.

When do we stop coddling people nowadays making excuses for them when in reality they are just being terrible humans? We have gotten entirely too soft as a society. The kid may have mental issues but that didn’t cause him to throw a cinderblock through a business’s door to steal $2K worth of vape shite. Maybe a nice 30 day stay in county lockup will be good for him.

Jesus. Stealing liquor? He could easily get it for free if he wanted to. Clearly he has some mental issues.

We did a few years ago. Very mild ADHD. He is just immature and irrational with most life decisions. My wife tells me a man's brain isn't fully formed until he's 25. So, hopefully he won't wind up homeless or in jail before then.

Wonder if he’ll move on to a 4th team for his sophomore season now when he’s 23. What a waste

Imagine having all these people trying to help you to get eligible to play football, working for weeks and this is how you repay them.

Seriously though frick that dude. If he truly has mental health issues I’m sure he was offered the resources to give him help and he’s not taking advantage. Everything has been laid out for him for 3 years and he continues to ignore everything.
