Football Linebacker Austin Dean in Portal

This one just doesn’t make a lot of sense for the young man.
  • RU is light at LB
  • Schiano has a track record of developing NFL linebackers
  • Despite being a 2 star recruit, RU had him play in 20 games and 1 start
Maybe wants to get back to FL (I don’t know story) but I think this might be a case of entering the portal will do more harm than good for him…
 
Idk if we'll be light at LB next year. Got Toure coming back, Powell, Moses Walker, Jennings is eligible, Anthony Johnson

Very good point. This year’s development really solidified the corps so well.

Deion Jennings just won Most Valuable Player by the team btw

Between Jennings, Toure, Powell, Walker, and Johnson — you’re right, hard to see the young man starting

Only thing I’d argue is that with our LB injury issues (and being a 2 star) — not a bad place to be depth when you were already seeing the field in big ten
 
Best of luck to him, perhaps he was told he would more playing time elsewhere.
