    I want Max Johnson (and his brother), but have a suspicion he'll end up at FSU.

    Not sure he’s healed completely from his hand injury. His days at UF are numbered imo.

    Hopefully there's a shot we can talk him back in. He would have been very good this year. Saw a lot of progress and hate that the injury robbed him of what he could have been.

    I can't agree with that either, but I think we can both agree that he will have a lot of down time now that he shouldn't have had that could have helped him develop quicker.

    Because we didn’t make a bowl game or because he’s planning to enter the portal? I don’t think we’re doing much right now outside of exit interviews and working out, and I doubt he’s bailed out completely and isn’t working out. We don’t have to agree. It’s all good.

    players have one free transfer plus the ability to grad transfer. His transfer to UF was not as a grad transfer, it was his freebie.

    No. He transferred to A&M with his free anytime transfer. Transferring to UNC as a grad transfer so immediately eligible.

    actually, the only reason he is able to transfer/visit UNC/commit to UNC before the portal is even open (opens 12/4) is because he is a grad transfer.

    Why Graham Mertz Transferred to Florida from Wisconsin
    He redshirted plus played 3 years at Wisconsin. Technically he should be done but he got a COVID year as well hence the sixth year.

    Yes, he put on good enough tape to likely receive lucrative compensation in the portal. Best to him

    Also thank you OP for making this topic for 2023, sifting through a 2022 topic was not ideal

    Bowl game. Those practices and the game could have been really good for him, and the losses kept him from getting those practices and the game.
