Kaleb Oliver in the portal

[boger2337]

Just released Kaleb is now in the transfer portal...

My guess is Middle Tennessee.

Hate to see him go. One of my favorite players and thought he would have a great year next year.

That’s crazy! He was one of our best last year. Maybe the young bucks are showing out? Did he play Safety or Corner?

 

[Tundeballer]

This one is disappointing. He's a good player.

Aw man, this one hurts.

Yeah... I am confused a little. I thought he would be a starter for us. Almost sure fire. Juanyeh / Riq level sure fire starter. This one is a little odd. I do know he has a young daughter and I think his fiance stays in murfreesboro. My solid guess would be middle tenn.

 

[GTBandit22]

This sucks. I liked his physical presence at slot and thought he would step in at one of the safety spots later.

 

[mtodd30]

Kelly Quinlan called our situation at safety a “logjam”, I think we’ll still be fine without him, but he was a great part of our defense

Opens up room for Kenyatta. Oliver was already splitting time at NB and he needs more nfl film. Makes a ton of sense

 

[LargeFO]

I'm thinking he probably wanted to be out there more than he was. Derrik Allen seemed like the third guy after Riq and Juanyeh by the end of year.

It is possible he could not get into our business school (we've had this problem in the past, perfectly qualified people but not enough slots) and is likely going to play at Mid Tenn and go to their MBA program while being with his daughter.

 

[MacJacket]

Dang! He looked good last year. I'm glad to see he's graduating and taking care of himself and his family though. I wish him well in the future.

 

[Deleted member 2897]

Remember he has at least one small kid. Probably wants/needs to be back home with family too. The guy played right on the edge emotionally during games, will miss that fire.

 

[RhoChi]

It sounds like from what I've heard it's a family decision and not about not wanting to be at Tech. My guess is also Midd TN. Well wishes.

Wesley Walker played a lot of nickel last season.
Kelly thinks Trae should move to nickel and Watson to starter. DB is deep and has talent but they didn’t play well last season. I think Collins will be more hands on this season & will make sure these guys are properly in line.

This doesn't help for sure.How much it hurts remains to be seen. When you lose a potential STARTER it hurts.

Someone was saying earlier that depth has been an issue ? Well that hurts depth even if you didn’t think KO was a front line player (he kind of seemed like one to me). Wish him all success. Seems like a really good guy

Tre as in Tre Swilling? I didn't realize he was coming back.

Yeah, I think he is using his covid year. I don't think he was going to get drafted after last year. Needs to improve his draft stock.
