Looks like Kolbey is entering the portal.

Hope we don’t lose many this year.

Honestly, I don't see him playing unless he has a 180 attitude change. Guy is a loose firecracker and Bohl benched him for Texas and he said "he needed it". Every week he has played there has been a point where he has made Bohl look like a volcano ready to explode. If an old school coach in Laramie with no distractions couldn't right his ship I don't know what will.

Not a surprise. He was benched and didn’t see the field the last 2 games. While he is athletic, I don’t think we will miss the 30 yards per game in penalties.

I’ll give Taylor credit though. Rather than the canned thank you to the staff and fans in a typical portal entry tweet, Taylor thanked Jesus that he was able to leave.

If you think about it, Jesus was a transfer portal guy too.

He's going to have to step up the NIL game. All the money seems to be going to a few saints and other old dead guys.

Boise targeted Taylor. They knew the score and they abused him. Maybe he'll get his head straight at his next stop.

It was not just Boise that targeted Taylor. It seems they all knew hew would either blow the assignment or commit interference when matched up .

He was taking a shot, no? Like “holy hell, thank you, I finally get to leave this god awful place?”

My guess is he”ll flounder just like most who transferred last year. Omotosho hardly played at Oregon St. many didn’t land in a better spot.

That’s the only interpretation I can get from the post.

Remember too that sometimes when these players enter the portal, they aren't necessarily choosing to leave, sometimes the coaches are making the choice for them. Not saying that is what is happening in this situation but I wouldn't be shocked, it wouldn't be the first time.

Yea, this is important to note too. A lot of guys on this board rush to say "f*ck you, good riddance, no loyalty hurr durr" but we don't know any conversations that are had behind closed doors.

I think Taylor pissed Bohl off more this season than everyone else on the team combined, lol.

I guess I would rather him thank Jesus, than the usual diatribe of "respect my decision" poop! :rofl:

I guess Vandy did not look at all the game tape where he either blew his assignment or commit a PI.

Good luck for him to go to university where if you graduate from it can lead to a lucrative career.

Very much so. He just committed to playing for the dregs of the SEC. Hopefully he gets a degree from there...
