[PAcuse]

I hope he finds a great school and crushes it.

 

[Ttk.gman2]

I think he got “THE TALK”

 

[cusefan88]

Hope he gets healthy and has an awesome year wherever he lands.

 

[mustacheovich]

He will do very well at a G5 school

 

[Ttk.gman2]

Wish him all the luck, he is a great run defender and has potential as a pass rusher.

 

[DuxburyO]

Thanks to Derek and his family. He will do good where ever he lands.

He has a history of injuries. His leg/knee a couple of years ago really impacted his speed.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Doesn't he need a waiver for another year?

Anyway, classic case of a guy not fitting a system.

He’s just not good enough in coverage, he’s a great football player though.

He was a solid contributor here. Maybe not quite "good" enough to excel here, a la Barron last year.

Wish him the best.

Would have liked to what he could do on the Edge-That's where he played in HS

 

[sdhall01]

He’s been here 5 years, did he graduate?

 

[CNYGuy]

I’d assume so, he was up for a bunch of academic awards if I remember correctly from the preseason watch lists.

I’m happy for him. I will never judge any player for transferring after they graduate.

If be surprised if he didn’t get a masters. The players tend to graduate faster given all the classes they take during extra sessions. Allows them to take less during season too.

 

[wfschrec]

Won’t forget his pick in the Louisville game as a frosh.

 

[hoopsupstate]

He’s a great student. He will probably end up with two master degrees. He will choose his next school smartly.

 

[Blanko97]

Totally forgot the he was on the team, was he hurt?

 

[hoopsupstate]

Totally forgot the he was on the team, was he hurt?

He missed several games at the end of the year.

 

[SuFTW]

Totally forgot the he was on the team, was he hurt?

Yes, he missed the last 9 games and I think played hurt before that.

 

[anomander]

he seemed to lose 2 steps since his frosh year. Wish him well.
