Posted July 1, 20213 yr Did someone post about this somewhere else? I didn't see a topic. Seem off to me that he is transferring because we landed some DEs that won't suit up for at least two seasons.
July 1, 20213 yr I don't know almost anything about Devin. Just looking at his .8714 composite on 24/7, and looking at the players in front of him and coming in behind him, it seems that playing time at ND would likely be very limited. I'm guessing he ends up someplace like San Diego State or San Jose State, maybe UCLA or Cal. This indicates to me that he really wants to play football, and that the cultural fit isn't/wasn't all that important. Pure speculation, of course. I actually feel sad about this. Not for ND. I feel sad for Devin. He had high hopes when he signed at ND. Excitement. Then reality set in as he watched recruiting continue, and understood that there are a ton of really good players out there. His excitement and hopes faded, and he decided he had to go somewhere else. I hope he finds what he needs, has a great time, and has great success.

July 1, 20213 yr Seems like a case of homesickness more than anything else. He would have red shirted this year anyway. Brings total number of scholarships to 85
July 2, 20213 yr Could be all of the above. Far from home, Likes warm weather, School could be harder than desired, Playing time will be tough to come by. Wish him the best regardless of his reasons for transferring
