From the article:
“There is just a lot of off-field stuff that goes on up there with players. It’s just stuff I don’t want to be around that just made me feel like I wasn’t really [in] the right place or atmosphere. There were guys that weren’t really putting in the work and doing the right things off the field to really go anywhere. I just felt like I needed to go to a place where academics are higher. I don’t want to bash Oregon but BYU has crazy academics, especially for business which is what I’m thinking about going into.”
Kirby felt many of the players place a higher value on the materialistic aspects found at Oregon rather than on focusing on and team and self-improvement.
“Also the players didn’t really seem like they wanted to be there for football,” Kirby said. “They just seemed like they wanted to be there for all the free stuff on the team. I just felt like I needed to get away from all that.”
“As soon as the coaching staff got fired I looked at that as an opportunity for me to get things right. I’m not going to say Oregon is a bad school, a bad team, or full of bad people because they’re not. It’s a different place with people who have a different focus about things."
“I think at Oregon they try and sugarcoat everything. Nothing was how they told me it was going to be."
According to Kirby, Oregon is trying to do what BYU has been doing for decades and that’s establish a culture and environment more associated with Polynesian players.
“One thing Oregon was trying to do was establish a Poly atmosphere, but at BYU it’s already there and has been there for a long time,” said Kirby.
“I thought I was going to redshirt. I had two knee surgeries in high school, but basically what Oregon did in fall camp was they made me strengthen them during fall camp. I thought I was going redshirt because I missed all of fall camp, but coach told me that they needed me to play last year and kind of threw me into the fire.”

One of my favorite things is when fans use quotes from a disgruntled guy who can't crack the depth chart as proof that coaches suck or are shady or whatever

Mormons all do the same thing. They start school a year late so they can drive as freshman and are 19 as seniors. Then they grey shirt, go on a mission, redshirt, play for two years, medical redshirt, play for two more years and graduate as 27 year old men.MikeSeaver said:

Asking a 19 year old Mormon to play college football is like asking an 11 year old white kid to get a full time job. -
