[LatinCane]

Thank you for your contributions the last several years! Go and be great!

Wish we could have had him longer, but I know that wasn’t up to us. Excited to see what’s in store for him. Hope he kills it at the combine!

Projected udfa. If he’s out elligibility, then more power to him.

Zero chance. The fact that he's going to the senior bowl and he's the starting LT on the runner up means he'll get drafted. Assuming he shows out at senior bowl, he has a chance to be a 3rd rounder, maybe even 2nd.

He'll probably be a day 2, early day 3 pick. He did good things here and left Miami in better shape. Go get paid.

Mountain that blocks go and do great things in the league!!!

Could he still come back if this ruling goes in Pavia favor?

“Feb. 10th court date, as part of the Pavia lawsuit challenging the NCAA rules that JUCO seasons count towards a player’s five-year eligibility window.”

He will be drafted. NFL teams are obsessed with physical measurements.

Good candidate for Jeff Stoutland University

In today's setting, yes.

Does he sign a contract with the NFL team he is drafted by?
Does he want to fight the NCAA over his ability to be in the draft but not sign a contract?
Does he want to make more Money with Miami in 2026 OR get a year closer to his second NFL contract?

I doubt he returns.

Did not looked overmatched versus the Aggies or OSU. With his measurables, has to get drafted.

 

[TooWise]

Just wondering did he even apply for a waiver? And if not what was his reasoning not to?

It might be voices in my head, but I'm hearing he may be switching to basketball.
