In a not all too unsurprising move, S Verone McKinley will be entering the NFL Draft. There's definitely going to be some competition to fill all the open starting secondary spots.

Almost as big of a loss as KT, maybe even bigger in some ways. I was really hoping he’d come back to shine in Lanning’s defense.

In the words of Herbie…..” I just think this era of player just doesn’t love football.”

I knew it was wishful thinking on my part expecting him to return. He really can't raise his stock by coming back and I wish him the best!

Hat off to him for willing to play in such a meaningless bowl game under the circumstances this year to help out the team. He had nothing to gain from playing in that bowl game so I really thought that he was coming back next year.

Great UO player, maybe an all-timer. Was all-in, always, played his ass off, always. Always positive and well spoken, great interview. Selfishly wish he stayed, but he has earned it. Go get it!

I’m not sure what you mean by this comment, if there’s one player on the 2021 roster that left no doubt that he lives and breathes football, it’s Verone McKinley III. I can’t imagine anyone else on the team that loves football more than him. Entering the draft, especially after giving his all in the Alamo Bowl, is not an indication that he doesn’t love football.
