I wonder how he likes riding the pine at Washington? He's a soph and has about 10 tackles this year mostly against a FCS school and Idaho. woop de doo. He could have been a rock star here, much like Logan Wilson. Give me a Logan Wilson any day over a kid who thinks they're too good for us. Hell, Logan Wilson is probably the better player, anyway.

Logan has a motor on him. He is a guy I am excited about. Our LBs have struggled for years and he will be a stud by the time he is upperclassman.

I was actually thinking about him the other day. Can't remember his exact words, but didn't he say something like going there was a "better fit" for him? Sure seems like he was right haha.

Bohl was recruiting him as a quarterback. I think most would agree he was on a similar level as Austin Fort as a quarterback. He belongs on the defensive side of the ball. He has a chance to be a national champion this year. That's a lot more than he could say if he had stayed in state. It would have been great if he had stayed, but I can't blame a kid for taking a P5 offer over Wyoming. He's representing the state well. Why not be proud of the Wyoming kid instead of acting like a bitter ex girlfriend?

I'd rather play instead of ride the pine any day of the week. Just me though!

I tend to agree with this. He has played in every game and they thought enough of him not to red shirt him... Hope he has a successful career

I think that he might end up playing a lot for them in the future and that undoubtedly their program is better than ours this year, yada yada yada. I think the distaste for me, anyways, lies in the fact that our squad is much improved from last year to this year and he could have made us that much better. (obviously assuming he played Defense for us, which I understand he wasn't necessarily being recruited on that side of the ball.) I doubt I would care much about him if we were 0-7. Does that make sense?

So if you had a walk on spot in Laramie and a guaranteed starting spot at the University of Idaho, you would pick Idaho?

Hell yeah. Scholarship vs walk on? are you joking?

Ok buddy. Enjoy being bitter.

Not the point. Tevis could have been a major piece to this team for likely four years, but rather chose to go to a "better school" and not play, at very best he's wasted two of his four years. To me that's dumb, nothing bitter about it. Makes disappointed that a Wyoming kid would spur that opportunity.

Unless he wanted to go to medical school.. not gonna do that in Laramie as easily as Washington.

The posts in this thread are incredibly harsh. At a good program such as Washington who is ranked 4th in the country you usually do not get to play a whole lot until you are in your Jr. or Sr. year. Very few Fr. and So. get much playing time at elite programs. He will get plenty of playing time over the next two years and I wish him well.

Then why start a thread and be so salty?

Are you joking? He could easily be doing his first year of medical school at the University of Wyoming which is ironically associated with the University of Washington. Plus it really doesn't matter where you do your undergrad. Maybe if you want to pay 5x for you undergrad Washington would be a good choice, I guess.

Unless you're on a full scholarship at one of the top medical schools in the country.

I am sure Tevis will get plenty of playing time in the next few years and I hope he does. I always hope Wyo kids do well and I don't blame him for doing what he thinks is best for him. I do wish he would have stayed home along with Tavin Bryan out of Natrona that is at Florida but its water under the bridge for me. "What ifs" do float through my head though. Tavin is 6'5" and 295 DT/DE and Tevis is 6'2 230 LB. They would be a Junior and Soph for us. That would be pretty cool.
