I wonder why he is leaving not? Not good. Speculation on how good most of these other guys will or could be but Ryans when he played was good. Hate to see him go.
It's usually not just one thing. There can be a lot of things going on off the field. Balancing athletics and academics is not easy. I hope this young man finds whatever he needs to become successful in life. He gave GT great effort.I wonder why he is leaving not? Not good.

Those trying to find some underlying staff or team culture problem to explain his leaving are wasting their time. The NCAA changed the rules making it easier to transfer. All we’re seeing is kids exercising their right to switch schools doing so because it doesn’t have the career penalty it used to have. You all gotta admit, GT ain’t the easiest place to hang.It's usually not just one thing. There can be a lot of things going on off the field. Balancing athletics and academics is not easy.

GT is difficult on the best of days.You all gotta admit, GT ain’t the easiest place to hang.
Kevin Harris as well depending on if he winds up at WDE or OLB. Still hate to lose Ryans though. He had some great games for us.
DIdn't he move inside as the year progressed?
Yes. I'll be rooting for Curtis.Seems like a good kid from his interviews. Appreciate his contributions and best of luck to Curtis!
Correct, strictly DE.Believe Harris transferred as a DE all the way.
I feel your pain. I agree with your thoughts and think he would have been productive for us any of the past 10 years. I remember 2014 and a young kid being forced into action (Freeman) as a true freshman at about 6’1” and 215 lbs. He played admirably. Curtis would have been a multi year starter in my opinion.Man, this sucks. This guy can play. I know we have transfers, etc. but I was looking forward to seeing what this guy becomes his junior and senior season. He’s a player.
That DE from that time was at least 6-4, if we're talking the same person. His most productive year was his Freshman year, IIRC.I feel your pain.

The difference is that this staff has obviously placed a premium on the position and have been able to take advantage of the changing landscape through the portal.
With out the 3 portal transfers, I don’t think this young man would be leaving. This is my speculation with zero inside info. I want to say we are loaded at the position but would be a little premature. Let’s just say we are very crowded with a combination of highly rated (either out of high school or based on college production) players we are not accustomed to having on the flats.
Actually he was 6-1 215 his Freshman year and 6-1 236 his senior year. A very solid player and absolutely great person.That DE from that time was at least 6-4, if we're talking the same person. His most productive year was his Freshman year, IIRC.
Keshun Freeman? I could have sworn he was much taller. He was in my daughter's Spanish class and she just texted me and said he was taller than me and I'm 6-1. Oh well. That was 5-6 years ago though when they were in class together.Actually he was 6-1 215 his Freshman year and 6-1 236 his senior year. A very solid player and absolutely great pers
