He would still be behind Tuioti and competing with Jaeden Moore for rotational snaps.

This has him at the opposite OLB spot from Tuioti, where Matayo currently plays:

As a coach there is no way I would want a potential cancerous player dividing my locker room. I only remember one coach (can’t remember who) allowing a player to remain on the team as a contributor.

You’re a coach of a CFB program in the portal era? That’s rad. As such, I’m sure you’ve had many discussions with players on playing time and their position on the roster. Probably had to help a few out the door to open up spots too. I would think with all that experience you would be able to get the sense if a player would likely be a cancer to the team or not.

I don’t think that’s true. His playing time had gone down significantly the second half of the year. He was probably going to be 3rd string next year imho. I think he played 1 play on D in the title game. Good luck to him wherever he ends up. I think he was passed up by Moore, Purchase and Rushing

If we were to get someone in the portal, I think they can be in meetings and team activities but they can't practice or play. If we get a HS early-enrollee I believe they CAN practice but can't play.

This is a side project of a random old guy. Oregon has a dozen OLB’s and Jordan Burch. Once Burch leaves it will just be a dozen OLB’s.

Hey, we like chileduck here. I still remember him from the old educk board. I, for one, refer to that site fairly often.

Me too. I would also need to be old to remember this.
