McGriff Leaves Program

Every time I hear about a coach suggested position switch after a kid is in school I wonder if this isn't sure to follow.  He did mention grades though...

I guess playing LB was not a great plan for him

What the....

 

Maybe wasn't happy about the switch to LB?  Oh well, best of luck

Good luck to this young man!!!  Looks like a case where NU is brining in more talent than UCF - Guessing he saw that he was being passed by at both positions.

It can be hard for a kid to be moved around positions a number of times. The coaches are also trying to find a way for the kid to beat contribute to the team. Sometimes, the kid and the coaches aren’t on the same page.

Of all the players I thought might leave at season's end, he was not in the top 10-15

Was he moved around a number of times?  And if he was, I understand it being difficult, but I would think moving from school to school is just as difficult.

 

I don't know.  Best of luck to him.

I don't recall anything publicly about him moving positions repeatedly. I would point at grades on this one. It is nice for him to acknowledge the efforts of the academic staff, but I do not think he would have had there not been specific reason to. For example, no specific mention of the S&C staff was made.

 

Anyway, best of luck to the guy.

Another article said he was going between WR/TE when he came in and switched to LB in Dec.....Maybe things just didn't work out for him.

 

Best of luck to him in future endeavors.

He de-committed from UCF to come to Lincoln, I would have never guessed that he would leave.  With that said, it doesnt suck.  Just another opportunity to go get another player.

If grades had nothing to do with it, and if he was low on the depth chart at OLB, he would have made a nice project for DE. At 6-6 and 220, another 30 pounds would have given us a very athletic DE.
