Kelton Dawson Enters Transfer Portal

[YJMD]

Assuming this means he’s coming back?

Great news if so. The sobering possibilities are things like injury/illness or moving on from Football. No matter what the case, I hope Kelton makes the best decision for himself!

Hmm...88 scholarships now? I don't know the inter-workings of GT football, but what date do we have to be down to 85? Maybe if the season is delayed or (please no) the season is cancelled we're OK?

Trust the process.

Good to see you can go from flunking out to the Dean’s List AND go from #3 on the depth chart to #1 in 2 months while being sequestered due to coronavirus!!! Quite a remarkable feat.

Takes two to tango....

GTAA had (1) already entered him into their Scholly Calculus (see what I did there?) or (2) there's already been back channel discussions with NCAA HQ or (3) ___________ (Fill in the blank) or (4) some combination thereof.

IMNSHO, this is not going to be unusual across the P5s in such a squirrelly year.

Not returning to the football team, just completing his degree as a student.

Still need to get under that scholarship limit.

Just tried to go back to the article, because I thought it had said return to the flats as a player, but now it is throwing a 404 error.

I would assume the same. It sure implies he is back on the team.

Seems like Kelton looked at some options that were available and decided to stay put. None of us know what the future will be in the short term so hold on to what you have!

He won't be back on the team and sounds likely he'll revisit his future decision after the fall term.

Is there a source for this? Unless there's something going on, it seems crazy we would not use a returning player with that much experience.

Another site (the Hive) has a tweet that I can't access that says he is returning to GT but not the football team.

 

[MidtownJacket]

Interesting..

 

[mts315]

His transfer tweet is still his pinned tweet.

 

[YJMD]

I wouldn't be surprised that a number of folks opt out of football at least this season. I hope everything is ok with him.

 

[mtodd30]

I think this does! More depth and returning experience on that d line is probably a good thing!
