I did say he’s bailing on his team mid season, which is precisely what he’s doing. So that’s why
Utterly selfish, and fitting that he crammed the word “I” half a dozen times into a two-sentence statement.
Had I mentioned the Utes, I might have pointed out that going there shows even less regard for anyone he’s played with and/or has supported him in some way at BYU, as Utah is a direct rival with whom we compete for recruits, coaches, etc. Unless he thinks he’ll leave for the NFL after 1 season, he’ll suit up vs. his former team in ‘24.
His stated reason wasn’t about getting to live out a more traditional college experience or not finding BYU’s unique culture to his liking. It wasn’t even about playing time. In what some consider the ultimate team game, this was “Gimme the ball more” followed by “I quit.” In the
middle of the season.
Personally, I’ll forget the kid but for the time he’s on the field should we face off against him. Go do you fella
