    It’s cool. Tosu has guys going from leaving to staying when they find out a season is happening.

    Neither Tryon or Levi did enough for me to give a shit about them. Mine as well be named mcdaniels and Stewart.

    GTFO of here.

    I heard through the grapevine of Levi's decision weeks ago. The timing of his announcement is curious, though, as Wyatt Davis (and other early draft entrants?) now wants to walk back his decision. I'm supposing Levi must have signed with an agent, which seals the deal.

    Hopefully he’s better than Tryon’s agent

    Dude was on social media begging for an employee Nike pass after he signed with him.
    Jesus even I have access to those on short notice... I've got piles of Columbia Sportswear passes if Joe likes that shit?

    He may be able to come back. Read an espn article about a pickle fork punter that got an agent, entered the draft, but didnt get drafted and was not signed to a free agent deal. He petitioned the ncaa and got two years of elig back.

    On the flip side it gives more playing time to the younger guys, which may play out better for next year.

    He declared 24 hours at the mere possibility of having to play in college
    The damage is done. I was wrong, @CallMeBigErn was right, and yet it's all still fuck.

    If there is an aborted season, play all of the kids who are supposed to be talented. Don't care about seniors carrying us to 3 - 3.

    After opting out of the 2020 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Onwuzurike had arguably the most riding on his Senior Bowl performance of any defensive lineman in attendance. While it's difficult to blame him too much for looking rusty -- and his stock won't necessarily "fall" -- Onwuzurike also did nothing to raise it.

    He looked completely unable to hold up against double-teams at nose tackle when asked to play there, meaning he's likely to be a 3-technique only in the NFL. He went on to show little in the way of pass-rushing moves in the one-on-ones as well, as he still relied on his first-step quickness to get home. While Onwuzurike has been seen in multiple first-round mocks before this, that is likely not going to be the case anymore.

    The tone of the reporting out there is that Levi has solidified himself as a late 1st rounder and has been mocked recently as high as 17th.

    Not sure what you've been reading or digesting ...

    Disagree. It was because he was in the Pac-12.

    Can't take this practice report seriously when they have such a major error in the first sentence.

    That is nowhere near the tone of the stuff I've read. He's been commented on his versatility and strength, ability to anchor when called for and moreso his explosiveness and ability to disrupt. He's a 3 tech that can do it all and has probably solidified first or early second round status.

    Not saying it will happen, but that seemed to be what they were saying when I looked.

    It’s not exactly earth shattering news that he’s not a Nose Tackle. He’s 290.

    bad news that he didn't play in the senior bowl due to an undisclosed injury.

    Levi had 2 good days at senior bowl practice and then undisclosed injury.

    I would guess that he tweaked something and doesn't want to take chances of getting hurt during a live game before the draft so he opted out.

    Still ... Projected by some to be 1st round material.

    I've also seen joe tryon as a late 1st rounder in places although that's definitely contingent on a great pro day and an organization that falls in love with his potential and measurables in the underwear olympics.
