Should shock absolutely nobody. I’d like to say we’ll miss him but…….

Disappointing, and foolish. With a new staff, and the complete re-evaluations that will take place, he would likely have been the focus of the offense. Transferring to, say, Auburn (or anywhere else) would put him behind three (or more) other guys the coaches there are familiar with, or some incoming 5* kid those same coaches recruited and favor. And he is transferring with a lingering injury that might never heal, so he has another little weight in the negative balance pan against him.

See ya...

Shocked

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

I’ll be rooting for him if he lands outside the Big 12.

 

[Sweat Equity]

Bama $NIL has been hopping at him.

One would think he will get surgery if it has not gotten better soon.

 

[Limp Lizard]

Maybe he will transfer to Jackson State.

Bama would be good for his growth. Saban and team does not put up with a lot of stuff.

Do they prorate the $NIL on # of carries per game?

He would have a much, much better O-Line than the 2021 Frogs. (Not justifying the transfer prospect, but sympathizing with the limited carries he had at TCU.)

That's a great take, for a couple years ago. Now, the things you listed are only a small part of the decision for kids like Zach. This is about exposure and money. Zach is a five-star talent, if he is healthy and plays a decent amount next year, then he will get drafted. He is looking for a program that will shore up his NFL credentials while also paying him the most amount of money this year. Welcome to the business of college football free agency.

I would think Sonny would try to get a sit down with him.

If he taps himself out while in the portal, does he just vanish?

In his defense, Dykes seems to like players who will go at it every minute of every quarter.

 

[Limp Lizard]

Too bad, because Zack, from what I saw on TV, was not just an excellent runner, but a very good blocker and team leader. Oh well, just keep Miller, please.

Maybe where he goes the trainers know how to wrap a foot to prevent turf toe. Or any number of injuries.

 

[Frog45]

New normal. Best of luck in his future. I root for who is in purple.

 

[Wexahu]

Good luck to the young man. Next.

Not bothered by this at all. If he doesn’t want to be here or he’s not all in, it’s best he go.
