The kid was looking for an excuse to leave. It’s fairly obvious now. He expected to come in and dominate, but Savage kicked his ass and he was swimming on the field here. He was clearly struggling to adjust to the speed and physicality of our receivers, which was normal for a freshmen. Unfortunately, I’m sure he already had it in his mind he was out of here before the JJ situation even happened. Luckily for him, that was a good enough excuse for him to skip town immediately. At the end of the day, he didn’t want to put in the work and just wasn’t built to play in this league. Nobody ever actually associated the kid in any way with what JJ did. If anything, he was painted in a heroic light at first. He couldn’t hack it and didn’t want to be here anymore. Period. Good riddance.
