Had some stats at Cincinnati in 2023, nothing in 2024, not much at Michigan State the next... was he injured one year or just red shirting?

You would think a transfer from the BigTen would generate some talk??

On his best of videos he looks bigger than 6’2”-245..probably closer to 6’4”-250 and it looks like he could play inside or out on the D line.

Based on his history and eligibility, this appears to be a one and done situation. We are a AAA program now, I'm starting to get used to it.

Fine with that - lean in or get run over by those that do.

If we rent him for a year and he has 7+ sacks and heads off to OSU, I won't be upset. I'd be upset if he's here for 8 months, does nothing and we let someone else go.

Send us your elite tweeners, and we'll develop them and send them on the way.

There are worse things than being seen as a positive stepping stone - irrelevance.

Totally agree, although it took me a couple years to accept this fate. I'd rather be a go-to program for development than nothing at all. As long as we win.
