WR JoJo Trader to Portal to NC State

Good luck kid.

Still, I'm not surprised. Rarely do the number two receivers behind a mega recruit like Smith work out at the next level. The second option benefits greatly from all the attention godzilla on the other side draws.

Still time for him, but hammer down on those books.

He was a big dog before he transferred to Nade.

Guy blocked like a beast. Has some talent. Sorry to see him go, but I think moving on will be best for all parties.

I mean we've recruited over him - forget the two classes we've brought in after him, which are stacked at WR, we've gone out and brought in 2 (possibly 3) WRs in the Portal.

The writing is on the wall.

No idea why he couldn’t make it work once injuries weren’t an excuse, but sometimes you need a new setting to hit the reset button. I really wanted it to work for him here but it wasn’t meant to be.

I think he got in his own head. Tried too hard at times. Those drops always came when he was already trying to make more out of a catch.

I hope he thinks hard about his next situation and goes to the place that will really give him a chance to use his ability. I'm not sure its NCST.

I'd think hard about SMU if Rhett is interested. Jennings is a better QB in a better system.

Yep, guys are gonna get processed in the NIL+portal era — and rightfully so. Any pretenses are gone. College Football is 100 percent a business now.

We’re not talking about a lineman here. Two years is enough to know what you do or don’t have in a receiver.

Maybe JoJo figures it out in Raleigh or wherever he ends up or maybe he’s Mark Pope 2.0. But he got his shot here and it just didn’t work out

Good point.

NC State under Doeren hardly seems like a place where a skill position player goes to refine his talent for the next level.

Plus, another ho-hum season in 2026 and they may clean house with the coaching staff

To me it definitely seemed like he was always pressing to make the big play rather than being focused first on the routine plays. Sucks it didn't work out but we're a progrum again and dont have time to give a former top 50 recruit 3 years to figure it out. Step up or step aside and he went aside. Hope he finds a good spot somewhere.
