We’re pretty thin at linebacker already. Overshown needs about a year.

Not sure Freeman was gonna help much. Best of luck to him.

6 tackles last year and couldn't even get on the field with no Malik in the bowl game. 

You always want as much depth as possible but the writing was on the wall after the bowl game. I'm sure he's going to transfer to a smaller school where he can get playing time.

Another victory for 995ers. Wayyyy out of left field

Eh. There were on-and-off rumors that he would retire or leave.

The writing was on the wall for him.  He had some good moments under Strong but never seemed to improve.  He seemed a bit overweight his entire career here which is surprising considering he was a safety in high school.  Good luck Ed, hook em.  

This doesn't help experienced LB depth behind GJ, Wheeler and McCulloch, the younger Boyd may be a Junior now but he hasn't seen any real action at LB, the rest are pups with potential.

Hopefully Chris Nelson doesn’t get any ideas.

Nelson's playing time is not in question.

Wescunt was right on again. When he "writes" you really get some solid-gold inside information.

Texas largely escapes attrition during Tom Herman’s second offseason

 
Oh, wait. . . .

He was stupid to write that article when he did. However, if Freeman is the biggest contributor to leave between the end of spring ball and the Maryland game, I would say our roster made it through the offseason unscathed.

I think it ensures Dele gets a lot of playing time

I don't think it impacts Dele's PT at all. In the same way that Eric Cuffee transferring would impact Anthony Cook's PT.

He was gonna get PT no matter what, we lose all our experienced LB's after this season and we need 3 new starters next year. Losing Freeman does hurt depth this season though, LB's tend to get dinged up..

This wa a huge loss. I hope he transfers out of conference.

¿Que?

He wasn’t going to get any snaps. Good for him for transferring

He is due for a breakout year and is destined to become the next Tommy Nobis.

Admittedly, I forgot who he was. But, after reading a few posts and realizing that this is indeed surly, I decided doom and gloom was the better commentary.

Also besides Heard, was that the last player being recruited by a Mack era staff?  

I think mack was saying he recruited wheeler during the spring game. Don't know how much recruiting was going on since it would've he would've been entering his junior year

Andrew Beck and Bonney

Edit: by "recruited", I assume you mean committed to Texas while Mack was still coach.

Hate losing an experienced player but good luck to you and thanks for all of your efforts. 

Somebody be sure and tell him he has turn all of his stuff in. He doesn't get to leave with all that gear!!

He was the best actor we’ve ever had.

Ah yes. When he fell over on the field just to get a timeout called....but then missed the rest of the season with an injury.

Must be a method actor.

Ah yes, the the third-best Florida Adjective University. Miami should be fun, though.

Doesn’t the grad transfer school have to offer a degree that wasn’t available at the original school?   What would that be for Florida International?   Masters in Smuggling Cocaine Through an Airport?

I do not think that is really a thing anymore or even enforced.
