Looks like he's planning on transferring out. I'm afraid this will likely be the norm for a while with many schools across the country. Lots of question marks and general "unease" about the safety of things and the timeline of when football will be played again.

Yeah, I agree. Luckily it won’t just be a WIU issue, but a FCS, G5, and certain P5 programs. Especially, for the upperclassmen. Feel bad for these student athletes in all sports not just football

DT would be my guess based on need and this kid's film and size. With some Opt outs, we are very young inside on the DL right now. This would add some much needed depth. Look for all positions to play 2-3 deep this Spring if able. They don't want kids to be wore out come Oct 2021.
