Funny how some here were upset that he didn’t redshirt. I think another said he would transfer to LSU anyway because they will need a QB next year. Redshirt, LSU. LOL.

Like all who leave Tech in this manner, best of luck to you. Best you not be here if your heart is not into it.

I admit, I was wrong about LSU at the QB position. They are strong at least 2 deep. If we had played him from day 1, would he have stayed here? Would we have had better outcomes? That’s totally speculative at this point. The only evidence we have are the games he started that didn’t go very well.

He wasn't playing Ringgold or Plain Dealing...

Go watch his HUDL film from high school - look at who his highlights are against...

He’s at UAB.

"Won't get another chance in FBS"

Moves up to a higher level conference.

The Crawford transfer is great, but we don't have anyone to throw to him

Trent Dilfer started talking to him early. They have a good relationship. Notice the UAB QB just hit the portal.

Isn’t it obvious that the transfer portal is a window into what a country of babies and quitters we’re becoming? As a whole people don’t really want to work for anything anymore. Government has made it too easy for the masses to get something for nothing and now athletics is following suit. If a player will quit his school because of who is on the team, his in-house competition, then he’ll just as likely quit his team because of falling behind in a game. Sports are no longer making men out of boys, institutions are making people without character.

Someone once said: facing adversity does not create character...it reveals it.

Gen Z and other youngsters have been pampered too much. Yes, there are exceptions, but painting with a broad brush, this latest generation is pathetic when it comes to work ethic.

On the other hand, we have the invisible hand of the market.

How/why the heck are we losing a local boy who "always wanted to be a Bulldog" to UAB, of all schools? What's going on in Ruston? Are we losing because of the HC or the conferrence or maybe because we aren't able to pay NIL???? As are a lot of others, I'm alarmed.

Did you see Lyddy play? IMHO, he is not a FBS QB.

He may prove us wrong at UAB, but I doubt it. Not a big loss IMO.

Losing to Tulane was a much bigger loss than this. He will wind up being Jack Abraham at best.
