Tommy Devito in the portal

[Chris02M]

Yeah no doubt. I bet there was a convo between the two and they agreed this was the best. Honestly it probably is. It’s GS’ team and having both there is just unneeded drama

in my section everybody was like put in devito, im like there is no chance he is playing unless shrader gets hurt.

UConn could probably use a new QB.

 

[OrangeDW]

He wants to play. Can’t blame him.

Not like a guy who was a starter quitting.

 

[EuclidBred]

My best guess is Kent State with Sean Lewis.

I said this back when GS took over…will be telling whether Lewis has interest in TD or not.

Keep in mind, he wasn’t a great fit in our offense. Why would he be a great fit in Lewis’. Going to be interesting to read the tea leaves here.

Counting down the days for TD’s dad to make his last burner account and grace us with the most epic post this boards ever seen.

Thing is, I think he would have played some this year. I'm not sure that Shrader can take the pounding, week in and week out. Dude takes some hellacious hits, and gives some out of his own.

 

[JustPherU]

Not sure who really could use him, maybe a FCS school

 

[syrBossHogg]

Hope he can find success in his next stage, seemed like he was a good teammate

 

[TheCusian]

Best of luck, Tommy.

Breakups are never easy. But it was pretty obvious on Friday night that these two weren’t getting back together.

True. He probably still thinks he can make the NFL though, and wants to go somewhere where it’s his slot for a year.

Tommy might want to take a look at how Ben DiNucci handled himself. He went down to FCS for JMU and had himself a hell of a season and ended up with the Cowboys. He played less than TD originally at Pitt but found the perfect situation. Doubt he ever does more than getting that cameo in Dallas but based on what he had done over his first 3 yrs there was no one expecting him to get pro looks when he first transferred.

No shame in finding a top program in FCS and take your shot at putting up some big numbers.

 

[Nahson]

I hope he finds a new program and does awesome. I’m really rooting for him. It didn’t work out and that’s okay. I’ll always appreciate him and his time here. He’s a good kid.

[omg_cuse_rules]

Good to hear. Hopefully he sets some NCAA records next season

 

[bevosu]

I've felt very early on that Tommy picked the wrong football program to commit to. This situation with a poor offensive line, poor pass blocking, and questionable receiver talent was not the right place for him.

He would have done much better at a school where his style could be effectively implemented.

“it amazes me this kid is walking away mid-season, leaving his team in the lurch, and people still wish him well. Dude bailed on his teammates. Leave after the season. Fine. This? Quitting mid season? I will never respect that.“

oh I’m sorry...that was from the Taj thread.

of course, unlike that post which i disagree with. I thank Tommy for for the years of effort. Wish him best of the luck down the road

 

[Trueblue25]

That was a classy and well thought out good bye post. I truly wish him the best.

 

[Jake]

Good luck to him wherever he goes. The writing was on the wall when we offered Shrader.

 

[OmahaCuse]

He needs to be in a Leach system. He was a good kid and teammate. However, I like mobile guys who can escape pressure. like our backup options as we know what we got with Devito and was not a fit.

 

[Cusefan69]

No one should bomb this young man out the door. He was all Cuse, worked hard and did his best. Good luck to him and hopefully he finds success whatever he does.

But credit to Tommy for keeping the drama out of it. He was classy about this all the way.

 

[ForCuseSake]

Taker care, Tommy.

Best of luck

Thank you Tommy!

Good luck to you!

 

[PhatOrange]

I could feel this was coming when he didn’t get any time against Clemson. Barring injury he wasn’t playing again. This at least helps the team more by letting Morgan and others get more reps

this is definitely the upside. young guys getting more practice snaps.
