Kyle Kennard Just Won The Bronko Nagurski (Nation’s Best Defensive Player)

[Root4GT]

Agree in general. But I don't think coaching had anything to do with Kyle. He was a grad transfer. Until GT gets degree program help, those are likely to continue unfortunately.

My guess is a fairly high percent of Grad Transfers get into a different undergraduate degree program vice a graduate program. That’s a guess.

the good news is I'm proud of him and our DL has been surprisingly good because of Van Den Berg, Gore, Biggers, and Height this year. On fire since the VT game.


The bad news? IMAGINE IF KENNARD STAYED.

Nicely done.

Kennard just opted out of the Citrus Bowl. Said he wants to concentrate on NFL preparations.

 

[GTRambler]

He’s “projected to go in late first round.”

The dear john "our time was special but" letter will help my wife recover. After her favorite IVEY left she followed Kyle as a favorite.
I WILL REPORT HER REACTION

She said he seemed genuine.

Was MARCO let go and then Kyle portaled out? Or was marco here when kyle left.

I sure like our present DL staff

The plant never needs fixing; it's always the environment. Mr. Kennard benefited from an environment, scheme, teammates, and other factors conducive to his on-field success.

A PERFECT example of the "me" atmosphere in "college Ha" athletics these days.

A really smart move by him. It is a meaningless game after the season. He has potential to become an NFL starter. His goal is to prepare for his future job. College football has done that and now it’s time to move to the next phase of job training.

If bowl games are meaningless, then a significant number of regular season games are meaningless as well.

That’s BS. Bowl games are after the Semester is over. If players want to transfer or go Pro they are better off getting on with it. There are more Bowl in some years than teams .500 or better. Bowls are now simply events to fill ESPN’s TV hours.
