This Yearby stuff is hysterical. You're kidding about the draft, right? I mean surely you are?
Grad transfer is a possibility, but Walton isn't pushing anyone out....at least not to my eyes. Neither is Gus after just one game.

My main point is.. what benefit does Yearby have in staying another year outside of getting a degree? Is he going to shape himself into an NFL starter? He doesn't have to prove any scouts wrong about injury concerns, doesn't have to prove he can pass protect, doesn't have to show route running. He is what he is, an average RB that is just solid in every area of his game but elite at nothing.
He has 2 kids, probably time to think about the risk involved with coming back another year and getting hurt, beat out, having a bad season, etc. Lots of NFL teams are shuffling for RBs that can do what he does and the going rate is a couple million a year, or at worst league minimum third stringer. Probably better off for him and his kids. You'd be surprised how far being able to pick up at blitz and catching a football out of the backfield will take an average RB.

You really see all 3 of those RB's sharing the backfield again next year? Yearby has a resume good enough to get looks from the NFL. It's very unlikely he could improve his stock by staying a year. Most importantly he's got kids to feed. It's not about getting pushed out it's just a good business decision imo.
MJ, running backs like him at his current state of development are a dime a dozen. His focus better be school as he'd be at best, an UDFA. So his best bet is his degree, no disrespect, just the cold hard truth.
66 running backs last year posted a thousand yard season. It isn't the stat it was when there were fewer games years back.
Going to be a lot of GMs trying to find the next Melvin Gordon. Yearby isn't him, but some superstar personnel savant is going to convince himself he is.
Honestly, what's the deal with Gray? He was supposed to be the best athlete here in the past decade. Can he not learn the playbook?
Not a true RB. He's exactly what you said... an athlete. RB isn't the easiest position to play, especially in a prostyle offense where you're asked to pass block.
Yearby getting drafted?
