I think the bigger, better story, is that if you follow, read the twitter trail of comments, etc, that apparently the young man is a PILLAR in the Eugene Community.
IE he WORKS EXTREMELY HARD.
He is a CHARITABLE PHILANTHROPIST, that gives his time, money in service to charities in the community.
Everybody in Eugene, loves, likes him, wishes him well.
Not a single negative comment about him from anybody.
As to why he is transfering. He probably would love to stay, if he wasnt the #2 RB behind Verdel, and since it seems like that he could probably be the #1 starter at RB at another P5 college, since fans say he plays extremely well when giving Verdel a break.
If WSU didnt already have Borghi, Deon, he would be a good fit at WSU.
But he probably wouldnt want to be the #2, #3 RB behind Borghi, Deon, so he will probably go, be the starting RB at a P5, that needs him.
