The way this season played out, I would be surprised. The problem is there's nowhere he could go really. I could see him sitting out next year and prepping for the draft.

If he doesn't play college ball again he won't be getting drafted. That's for damn sure.

He can go straight to the draft in the spring if he chooses. Getting drafted is a different question

If Pete's on the staff, Valentine wont sniff the field.

His best bet would be to get in shape and lose some weight. He's done nothing to get drafted. He would be lucky to get a free agent tryout at this point.

I believe he is eligible for the draft now.

he is eligible for draft but no NFL team is going to take him seriously until he gets into shape
at this point he would struggle to get through a NFL minicamp or ota

I'd say most could care less if he is or isn't at this point sadly.

Valentine poured the Gatorade on O after the A&M win, was that celebration or payback?

Sure, why not? We are the ONLY shot he has of getting into the NFL.

NO way, and I mean NO WAY he gets there by sitting out.

It's his problem to fix. We have the tools.

Lol good stuff.

I honestly think the kid is gonna stick around and will contribute next year.

I wonder if he could move to LT? I kid, it seems like we have plenty of depth on the defensive line.

An entire year with the program will do wonders for TV. I think y'all had too high expectations for a guy rolling into campus in the middle of fall camp and expecting an all American season. He will get in better shape in the off season and be ready to roll. If he wants the nfl we are his only hope.

I don't know if he is gonna make the grades required to be eligible to play. The dude struggled academically as evidenced by his having to take a quick intersession class to earn enough credits to be eligible this season.

The NCAA mandates certain graduation benchmarks be met and those numbers increase with each year of your 4year eligibility "clock"

He was also one of the first players to hoist the Boot in Fayetteville.

It sure seemed like he was a part of the team and not disgruntled in any way.
