So, does KJ stay?

With Sammy staying and KJ having another year of eligibility does he come back to try and raise his draft stock or test the NFL waters?

We are pretty full at TE next year.

I actually hope he doesn't, but I wouldn't be upset if he does either.
I just know that if he stays, we probably lose Singleton to the portal and potentially Criswell too - even if he has to sit a year for his second transfer.
KJ also takes up a huge chunk of our available NIL money, and frankly isn't really worth it when we could be paying a few other players with that money instead.
He's made some game and drive saving plays with his legs on numerous occasions, but he's also killed numerous drives with his inaccuracy, over throwing, under throwing, staring down receivers, and slow decision making. I'm ready to see how the rest of the team performs with someone else back there.
That being said, none of it really matters if we don't do something to overhaul the oline

No, he will probably transfer and most fans (myself included) will either be happy or indifferent. He will then put it all together and win the Heisman while leading his new team to the National championship.

Transfer to TCU would be my bet.

Bet he moves on with a good NIL deal. No sauces

I see all this talk about an increased NIL payout. What would the reason for this be? Do companies really want him as a sponsor more than they did last year when he was a "darkhorse heisman" and "best QB in the SEC"?
Plus it will be his last year. Once he decides to stay he will lose any leverage to leave. It would only be companies wanting to use him as a spokesman

Probably goes to another sec team just to beat us badly.

Even with the current talent we have at TE, none of them have the physical capabilities that KJ has. I think everybody, even KJ, knows that he isn’t an NFL QB…he’s not making NFL type money next year (NIL) at QB but he could make a good living as an NFL TE
Criswell-QB
Augustave-RB
Jefferson-TE
There is great young talent at WR on the roster
Titboss fixes the OL and saves his job
Hire a half arse reputable OC
Keep the defensive staff in tact
With a favorable schedule next season, I can see 7-9 wins

I wouldn't if I was kj. Would depend on if Pittman was gonna get an OC that didn't work for me again

He's likely to be shifted to a TE position if he goes pro. Players considered "projects" tend not to land big contracts. Unless Arkansas decides to cut his NIL deal he'd be smart to simply stay here and collect another big pay check.
If he's careful with his money 3-4 million in the bank will go a long way in rural Mississippi.

I would bet it depends on the OC we get and the QB options in the portal. If we land a good portal QB KJ will be playing for Briles at TCU barring a rando team overpaying for him out of desperation.
If the OC we get wants to run a complex offense then KJ needs to go. I still have trouble believing Enos was retarded enough to try it.
