    Not the position that we need to be losing a quality player.

    Something stinks in Hogtown...

    We just can't catch a break. That's a position we can ill afford to lose a player with decent experience. He'll end up at Georgia or Alabama and be an All-American.

    I was being sarcastic.

    Get used to the revolving door with the portal. I suppose it makes sense if he's trying to get closer to home. Best of luck.

    What a disaster. Early signing day is 2 weeks from Wednesday, if Napier's '24 class doesn't stay intact he's toast.

    Damn. Oh well, inevitable that we lose some to the portal, hopefully we end up net positive.

    Every team is going to lose key players. Just the way it works now. Gonna be about whether the boosters are willing to pay for a winning team.

    Sure hope so. Otherwise, what's the word for trying something repeatedly and expecting different results?

    This one is a head scratcher. He’s played a lot. 46 tackles the last two years at a position that doesn’t usually get a lot of tackles. Been pretty productive. 4 tfl 2 sacks.
