Hope he stays. Why not get the degree & continue smashing co-eds as long as possible. Nothing at the next level is guaranteed. I hate when people bring up potential injuries if he stays in these situations. Part of ball.
As in portal help or the Freshman?
I still think he's a safety.
Imo he’s a Swiss Army knife at the next level. 6’1 - 6’2 215 - 220 by then and can lineup at multiple spots. Safety , nickel , even lb on pass downs. You’ll have options with him and and that’s something most kids can’t do. Physical and can cover.
He’s going to test like a maniac that’s for sure. That’s the one thing people are missing. That being said he’s not leaving just to leave. He wants a certain grade to leave.Door #1 is a lot of money
Door #2 is very little money, but if you keep walking once you get into the room, you might come across a big bag of cash. You also might fall into a pit of spitting cobras, who knows?
Which one you taking?
I see there’s a lot of rumors on whether he’s staying or leaving but the decision has not been made. He’s been getting differentiating grades some grades high enough he’d leave and some not so much. But there’s a belief when they take his physical numbers and speed it could increase his stock dramatically. The film shows a physical cb that got better as the year went on and also a willing and physical tackler. Plus he has the ability to play multiple position.
I know T Rob compares him to Jaycee with his physical attributes and style of play, both are in the 6’1 205 range. Jaycee also had a sudden rise after scouts saw his size , speed and film at the combine.
This is just clear up rumors , that’s all. He’s not gone, I’d say 50-50 but he needs a certain consistent grade to jump. If not he should come back and put out more film. He might be the first guy

Kids who are 50/50 and who are borderline 2nd-4th rounders almost always go. I would be shocked if he stays.
I'd love to see him come back healthy, put up a good1215 games, and then be (one of) our first 1st rounders in a while. Tell him, whatever he NIL's, I'll buy it. Rique the Freak t-shirts? I'm there.
PS, per your points on his testing grades, where is he right now on health? Is he recovered enough to put up his best times and measurements?
