Really. There are open positions all across the board. Quite frankly, perhaps, even quarterback. With appropriate NIL money, there shouldn't be any position that a player couldn't find a place.

The good news is the portal is now closed. The bad news is we get to do this all over again in three months.

It sounds like he submitted the paperwork to UT and they have 48 hrs to submit forward. During that 48hrs they can try to work with him to stay.

Presumably it's a money play, but I can also sell this argument.
"I want to play in the league after two more years in college. Nothing I've seen post-2022 makes me think UT is the place to showcase my talents."
If the above argument is the reason, delayed entry into the portal seems nonsensical.

Its wide open for him next season. I think he should stay. He should have had more touches this year, for sure.

Here are highlights from his possible replacement, presumably as a one year rental. They look solid, but not spectacular. https://youtu.be/c7dZ7kd4NBs?si=SwTqGholnUvSyf9T

Apparently our long national nightmare is over. Matthews is officially in the portal.
I wish him well. However, there's too much smoke around Pope to think additional changes (perhaps simply stylistic) may need to occur.

Glad he's gone. He's the type that would shop himself around at every turn. You either want to be here or not. If not........then git.

AP had more on the process As weas reported earlier it was the Nico uncertantity to start and then it was more to do with what we VOL fans were questioning about the offense Apparently, we VOL fans will be happier with the offense next year, as he is staying

It's not hyperbole to say the WR room may have been remade like the DB room was last year.

All these skill positions mean nothing without an OL that is up to the task of blocking
