Boy was he a stud in HS. Really thought he’d be a stud DB for us. Good luck young man.

Probably not a coincidence that Lacy on a visit that goes well, then next day Lee hits portal. Only one ball to go around and we have some stud Sophomores....along with Boutte and Jaray.

Dont blame Lee. He put in his time...gotta try to put his name on some draft boards if he can

The Tigers now have 6 scholarship WR's returning. They also signed 1 WR in Landon Ibieta.

Really talented group of 7, but expect some adds via HS/Transfer Portal.

Think they try to get him to join the “corn huskers”?

I don't really understand this reaction. He obviously isn't good enough to play at this level and wants to play so why is it a big deal for him to transfer. I say we wish him good luck. Catastrophe sydrome.

IF he would just embrace an OLB role, I think he'd be awesome.

He wants to be a WR.

The crazy thing is despite 5 WR entering the portal we will be fine at WR. Obviously, we need to get one or 2 for depth via portal but it's not a terrible situation.

Only one we really wanted to keep I think.

Devonta would be a keep if he would move positions.

Yeah, this is a typical transfer like any other year previously. Lee and Palmer just haven't had a lot of luck here and are trying to go elsewhere to play more.

If Smith actually stays I’m not worried about WR

Boutte, Bech, Thomas, Nabors, Smith, Hilton, Ibieta isn’t super deep, but the talent there and it’s not super shallow either.

Add 1-2 portal guys and I’m fine. Lee was barely seeing the field when we were a mash unit.

Yep. Kid did his time, tried different positions and it just didn't work out. Unlike these freshman that quit after one season bc there feelings are hurt from not enough PT. I wish him nothing but the best

Everything isn't attributable to this, guys.

Devonta was going into his 4th year and hadn't gained traction at either WR or DB/LB**. He wasn't playing much. Those are the kind of guys that transfer. Especially in a world where you don't have to sit out a year.

(**I was kinda surprised they didn't try him at TE this year, but maybe that speaks to his abilities as well...)
