Didn't make the 2 deep?

I figured he’d actually fight for some time next year. Who knows, so many reasons why and it opens up a nice spot for us to snag another recruit!

Could be a variety of reasons, but if you look at the size of the incoming freshman class versus the number of graduating seniors this will only be the first of a significant number of portal entries.

I'm sure you're right. There will be many on the team fighting for a spot I'm sure, and several will like their chances elsewhere.

From Montanasports.com regarding majors recruiting. When he committed.

Major Thornhill, DE, 6-3, 210, Fr, Gunter, TX (Gunter)

“Player notes: Earned first-team all-state honors twice... helped lead Gunter to a pair of state championships. From defensive line coach Shawn Howe: “Major was a guy who was very, very high on our list at this time last year, he had a lot of Division I attention, and it ended up looking like he might have a home at a service academy. His recruitment opened back up and we saw it as an opportunity to get one of the top players on our board, and it worked out. He comes from a really, really good football program, won a lot of games, and is an explosive athlete and absolutely loves football. He can make all kinds of plays athletically. He has shown tremendous toughness, he played hurt all year, and he absolutely loves to play football. He’s a football guy, he loves studying the game, he loves playing the game, he checks off all the things we pride ourselves in the D-line room here.””

Could also be grades. Could also be snow. Could also be family reasons. Could also be homesick. As a true freshman experiencing this season, pretty wild to already want to transfer out...in my opinion.

My niece wanted to leave MSU after first semester. 4 years later graduated premed.

The timing coming right after the temperature drops does seem right on. Probably quite the shock from Texas.

Losing 4 DL as seniors and the Cheetah packages we run seems like the one position there is a ton of opportunity to move up depth chart

Heard he wanted to be first string Thorny of Bobcatnation, but @CelticCat wasn’t willing to give up the top spot.

It’s officially “with that being said” season…

Hahaha. God I hate the portal and its current set up.

I know, right?! Transfers never happened before the portal.

This is actually a bummer. They’re pretty light on edge depth for next year.

Nothing wrong with being disapointed when someone transfers out.

Theyll have a top 3 with Crews, Solano, and Brock. Then there will be a laundry list of kids competing for that 4th spot. We aren't in that bad of shape.

Who? Vigen and Frederickson are all that’s on the roster unless I’m missing some. I think they’ll need to bring in some transfers here.

Dang! It seemed like he had major upside. Hope he knocks it out of the park wherever he goes (unless it’s a big Sky school or DSU).

Poster never said they didn't, said they hate current set up. Why don't players just say nothing or say reason. Thank you MSU but "insert reason" so I am looking for another opportunity.

Sure. But this guy does this in every transfer thread, except for when they come here. Don’t see him hating on the portal when Lamson came. Just gets old after a while.
