Seems like a good freshman start... How did he do in the 38-0, Bro game?
I'm glad to hear a few things here. One, the kid is leaving LOLUVA. Two, he is doing well in school. Three, in-state skill position players that have the VT/LOLUVA option will hopefully see this. Four, the kid is leaving LOLUVA. He's probably looking at our running back rotation for the last two years and wondering what could have been. Five, he's leaving LOLUVA.
Can we start a meme thread akin to Florida's #ComePlayWRForTheJoker that is #ComePlayForACop #LoseToYourRivalAnnually #TransferAfterTwoYears
Bravo!
