I’m sorry Johnson is leaving. He is a good running back.

We didn't even get to know some of these guys but hopefully Lashlee and his staff can continue upgrading the 2-deep via the spring portal while filling some of these roster openings

With Camar gone and Rooster joining L.J. our RB room suddenly looks a little thin for what can be an injury prone position. I understand why those older guys might want to move on and look for more playing time elsewhere because it looks like we are going to have 3 stud RBs but it would be nice to find a big back in the portal who might serve as a short yardage situational guy. Maybe Stone Eby could be developed as that guy but he's also proven to be a pretty effective lead blocker.

Let's hope McFall and Johnson prove to be as durable as Brashard was last year

Sapp was one guy I was really looking forward to seeing play.
Oh well.

Much needed depth for the RB room and looks like a guy who can give us what L.J. Johnson did. Good to have an experienced guy who carries 220 lbs to compliment the younger guys in that room.

It seems like every day there is new portal related news. You know a lot of players are getting bad advice from unethical "agents". Crazy times indeed

Quarterback Keldric Luster announced on social media he is entering his name into the transfer portal.
"First off, I want to say I'm thankful for everything Southern Methodist University has provided for me. I am forever blessed and grateful for all the memories I have made here. I would like to thank God for all of his blessings. I am overly humble and excited for what the future holds in store for me. With that being said, I will be entering my name in the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility left."

Luster would probably like an opportunity to play QB somewhere? I wondered whether he would consider joining our RB group. He always struck me as a guy who could have contributed as a RB and would always be a threat to throw on the run. We haven't seen that in a while as part of our offensive weapons.
If Luster leaves I assume we will be looking for some depth in the QB room? Plenty of QBs in the portal but how many are looking for a home where they know (or should know) they aren't likely going to compete for playing time??
