Caleb Johnson is in the transfer portal

[Machinator 32103]

 

[Roofle 310]

Can't wait to see how many folks misread this at first glance.

[texifornia 59168]

Solid reaction to Juwan Mitchell passing him up on the depth chart. Way to put in the hours.

[Patrick Bateman 3989]

[txhorns 2421]

Well, bye.

[Hiphopopotamos 21192]

Isn't he still recovering from an injury?

Nah, he was healthy by the start of the season.

[closetojumping 65701]

He qualifies as a pure bust. Never made a dent in his 9 months on campus. 

[LTtxfan 50067]

Crazy thought....  

Can Okie Lite coaches contact Caleb and ask questions about Texas gameplan??

Or Texas contact Okie Lite's transfer portal LB ?

This kind of thing strikes me as a win-win.  The school gets a scholarship/roster spot back and the kid gets to try his luck somewhere else and might latch on.

The timing is a little fucked up, though.

I thought Caleb Jones got kicked out 5 years ago after punching that dude . 

[dingleberryswitzer 2724]

Also, he gets point for lasting longer than Cecil cherry and Bru.

[Elmer_Fudd 23121]

Mitchell and Tillman will be the 2 linebackers next year IMO.  If Floyd is cleared to play then that changes.

how many times did this guy transfer? Did he ever play?

Umm, Ossai?

Guess I'm still thinking/hoping he'll be a pass rusher from the edge.

That would be 5 total transfers. 

Texas > USF > Cohoma CC > Grambling  > Tennessee-Martin

Vaya con dios.

[6th Street 6711]

Never heard of this dude but if he can't even get snaps in our weak and thin LB group, he must be a real disappointment.

Bobby Burton called it early. Said he was loafing during shoulder rehab a little while after NSD, and warned he had the biggest bust potential of any of the 2019 recruits.

He was a poor evaluation.

Way to recover strong from LJHgate, Bobby!

Given how thin we are...wouldn’t it have at least been prudent to give him reps with the 2nds and see if he shines under the lights?  Some folks just instinctively play better under pressure, compared to practice conditions.  I don’t know the guy from Adam, but genuinely curious about our coach’s approach here.

[UDontKnow 10572]

Look at the positive side. It opens another roster spot for next year.

I don't think this staff rewards poor work ethic with snaps based on Herman cutting all those dudes like Chris Daniels, Erick Fowler etc after getting here.

Understood and agreed.  I dont have any insight into his work ethics.  Is he a known slacker?

Sure wish he could have waited.   He Surly fits into the “immediate satisfaction” generation...

[runthebone 8380]

He must have been waiting to see the okie lite game plan.

Did Herman just "miss" on this guy?

[Atticus 4238]

He was a true junior. He was being outpaced and outperformed by people with more eligibility left than him.

Why wait? I hope he finds a spot where he has more success.

[Dbeasy 15629]

Interesting to see our resident dr question whether he would ever return to playing form after his injury when he committed to us.

I'm assuming there then must be two Caleb Johnson's I know nothing about... Carry on

I can guarantee Burton didn’t say anything. He typed that he was “told” Johnson was loafing. 

And I don’t think our LB group is weak, 6th St. Thin, maybe. 

Yeah, I mean we have 5 (not counting pass rushers like Ossai and Vaughns).  I’d like to have 6, but we are 2 deep.  Need guys like Overshown and Foster to get healthy though.  This guy must have been real bad.  Maybe we should see what Brock and Ehlinger can do.

From Polo to Tommy.

[Mileslong 4815]

With a name like Caleb he should transfer to BYU...

Lmao half the comments wondering who Caleb Johnson is. 

That reaction epitomizes the football board.

He was a JUCO 4-star with solid measurables and film. Wild to see the bust happen that fast.

[Tex Long 4719]

Evaluation bust, aye.

Question is, whose evaluation was it?

That particular disease is not limited to any single generation, it's been handed down for decades now.

for what it is worth he had 3 years to play 3, not just 2 years of eligibility.

3 years to play 2. It was reported incorrectly during his recruitment.
