"Disappointed that you've bailed out on BYU. We were looking forward to your becoming a Cougar. Was it something lacking with the school in general, or some specific disappointment with the football program or coaching staff? Best wishes to you in your future career, wherever you end up going."

"Haven't bailed on BYU. Coach Beck was here yesterday watching my game. I was under the impression that Taysom was going to be leaving, and now that he isn't, that hurts my chances to play. Not a problem with the program at all, just evaluating my options to play. That's all."
