You may be right. May have been pursuing a grad degree at UU that wasn’t offered at BYU. No idea.

Did he get hurt again, or he's just had enough?

He’s no quitter. Basically gave it all he had.

Feel bad for him. Can’t blame him for trying one more time. Imagine he was a WO at the U.

I'm pretty sure many on here gave Pope a hard time on this. Looks like Pope was right. It is too bad for Baxter

Such a game changer when he was healthy. That blows. Good luck to Gavin.
