Help me with a rumor on Hendrix

That's the rumor. His roommate, freshman RB Derrell Scott, is transferring and that was confirmed by Butch the other day.

I highly doubt Butch would grant Hendrix a full release to another SEC East team so he will have to go to JUCO for a year if he wants to go to Mizzou.

He did not redshirt but lack of PT is supposedly the reason he wants to leave.

Thanks. Not sure I'm interested at this point. Might be a talented kid, but then would only have 2 years left. I wish him the best and hope he stays and works his butt off and finds a role there. I just hate transferring.

I just made a more in depth post about this over on the Mizzou board. I'm sure it will go over like a turd in a punch bowl

I hope he stays as well but maybe he just sees himself as Barnett's career backup here and wants to make his mark somewhere else.

I'm sure you're right. Thanks for the insight over there too.

We were after both of them to some extent back in the day. When y'all landed them both, while I thought it was great for UT, I figured one would be upset. I'm always hesitant about transfers who leave because of PT. It's always in the back of my mind that transferring just seems to be the easy way out instead of working hard to earn more time. More than one DE plays in a game. Hell, we rotate 4 and sometimes 5, granted the first two get a majority of the snaps.

Exactly. Tyler Gabbert did it with Mizzou. Lost out to James Franklin. Transferred for a day to Louisville before landing at UCF. But by the time he got to UCF, they had Bortles. Think he ended up just quitting and doing nothing. Just rarely works IMO.
