It is more common than one thinks. The onset separation anxiety induced depression isn't the sole domain of normal college students and military boot camp recruits. Athletes seem like kings of campus, but sometimes struggle more than most when they realize they are no longer the biggest fish in the sea, their HS personal game isn't as strong in college, and they are held accountable for making team meetings/practices, class times and courses reqs.
I'm sure that anxiety is worsened when personal expectations of team outcomes and role may not have come to reality. Derek Henry won a Heisman at Bama and almost transferred

You're not wrong, happens all the time. But when people get "home sick," they transfer to a school actually in their hometown and live with their family typically. Yes, it happens a lot with college freshman. However, unless Gilbert plans on signing with Ga Tech, he's not going to escape that situation of being away from his family on a daily basis.
