Jackie Matthews declared for the draft just now as well.
I would assume since he is declaring for draft and forgoing the bowl game then he has no intention of returning. otherwise, he would play bowl game and then declare.
I think people that are commenting "not a big loss" or whatever, have not been paying attention and are thinking this is the same Colin Duncan from 2 seasons ago.
This kid was damn good player and very underrated.
I don't think he gets drafted in the first 5 rounds, maybe a late round pick if he tests well. The guy is a great college player and he will be missed.
Jackie Matthews is playing in the bowl game even though he declared for the draft
I?m declaring that I may watch the bowl game if I?m not too hung over
Sometimes declaring early means your expediting the end of any remaining football play.
Yup. This is exactly the type of player we have to convince to stay in the NIL era. He's a good college player and not likely an NFL player. We have to be able to convince these type players to play out their eligibility and enjoy getting a lot of minutes and being big man on campus while putting a little guaranteed money in their pocket. Some of these players will surprise us and leaving earlier will get them one more year of good money in the NFL, but the majority of them are going to end up ending their careers earlier than they had to.
What happened to the safety transfer from Michigan or FSU that came last year?
