Yet another portal entrant
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
Another travel roster departure. I hope he finds a good college home to complete his degree for free. I kind of liked what I saw from him on a couple of plays in the spring game.
Not a huge loss when a non-contributor moves on, but it is a reminder of how there have been some real reach offers to guys they were hoping would turn into OLBs.
It's too bad there isn't as much out there in the transfer portal in the proven pass rusher department. Those dudes are rare and NU just hasn't been able to win recruiting battles to get the Micah Parsons of the world.

The sad part for me is when a kid gives up as a sophomore. I hope he finds a spot where he can get his school paid for and have a nice life. Screw football. Just find some success in a career and life.
Completely agree, too many people quit on the opportunity in front of them, I never want to kill anyone’s dreams but you have to wonder what’s going on in someone’s head when you give up the education part of the scholarship without even having a plan, assuming he doesn’t since he was opening back up his recruiting, but to just quit and hope to find another place to play and set yourself back further on your degree is a dumb strategy IMO. Hopefully it works out for him.
Who cares. Most kids today are impatient. Blame the system that builds them up so much in high school. Star rankings, hats on the table, etc. I’m sure Jamin was the bomb at Etowah HS. D-I college football is a different level. I wish him well and hope he finds what he’s looking for. There are so many kids in the portal, we can look for a replacement or have an extra spot in the current class. These are not bad outcomes for Nebraska.
These kids are coming to NU with dreams of playing in the NFL. And after two years of not playing they take their ball and go home. They are not here for the free education and could care less about finding a good job. I would love to see how many transfer portal guys ever graduate.
Yeah most 18 year old dudes are not real dialed into how to best set themselves up to be successful at age 45 and beyond.
The fact is you can get an education anywhere and the bigger variable is your commitment to your own learning, not the quality of the institution. These kids have no real concept of what tuition costs or student debt can do to their quality of life. They just know they wanna play football and they ain't gonna see the field where they are.
