I'm sorry to see Treylon Smith go, he was a solid RB for us and most years he would have easily been our starter all season. We are ridiculously loaded at RB right now though. You can't blame him for wanting to get some more game time in during his last season. Someone is going to get a solid all around back when he joins their program.

It is a weird change of pace to see players leaving the program because we have too much talent at their position and not because we have a brain damaged chimp as HC (hello Bert and Chad).

Hopefully we pick up an experienced LB in the portal.

Kind of like 2005, when we had De’Arrius Howard but then there was McFadden and Felix waiting as Freshman.

Finding any decent LB in the portal is one of the hardest positions.

Agree 100%.

I wasn't as down on Smith as others are. He was a good change of pace scatback and could Houdini 1 yard runs into 10 yard gains.

He was a very good back for us in 2020 and made losing Rakeem Boyd much more tolerable after he opted out in the middle of the season. His importance to our turnaround cannot be overstated since we basically had nothing behind him until Sanders, Johnson, and Green all simultaneously emerged in 2021.
