Has anyone heard that XT is considering either...

transferring or pledging for draft? Have Zero inside knowledge but was asked about it and then his recent lack of play?
Current players are pretty strong, all can return, XT probably isn't top dog when healthy currently? I hadn't thought about it but a LSU buddy actually asked me and said he read something to make him think.
Just curious if its been mentioned inside our community, I hadn't seen it?

Well the question is real! I wonder if someone said Korey was coming here but that threatened XT? I was trying to figure out why my LSU buddy said something and they thought they led for Korey for several months.
But after Korey came to game then XT didn't play in next ACCCG, or very little.
Again, I have zero knowledge, I heard from my buddy who tightly follows LSU mush like I'm stuck on Clemson. I don't know that Korey is the connecting dot, I'm just trying to think outside the box as to how he might have heard something.
I surely think XT needs another year, when we recruited he always said he was committed to Clemson for 3yrs, but I hope it works out longer!
I was curious if anyone heard anything, and wanted to see if I could connect dots. XT definitely needs a year and he has seriously strong competition!!! I like the guys energy!

Probably the most ill-concieved, weakest, football related rumor I've ever come across. As far as there being a "top dog DE", I don't believe any have distanced themselves, from the rest, to make the claim. If one had, XT's health, lack of playing time wouldn't be such popular points of interest & discussion for fans. I still have hope that, w/ luck healthwise; he will break out & begin to reach his potential & billing.

I’m going out on a limb and saying Myles Murphy has distanced himself and locked down a starting position.

Not heard a word. Not going to speculate but I'd like to know how Justin Foster is doing as well. I feel for b o th these fine young men. C19 kicked their butts. I pray for both to get healthy and pursue their chosen paths. Either way, they'll have a degree which will take them as far as they want to go.
That said, I'd love nothing more than to see both in Orange next year. Both have everything you'd ever want to pass along knowledge to our young recruits and have superb years on the field in 21... And who knows from there.

It appeared XT completely turned the corner on COVID

so I doubt that has anything to do with it. His recent lack of play is very puzzling.

Does anyone think he could migrate to MLB
Dec 27, 2020, 11:51 PM
[ in reply to It appeared XT completely turned the corner on COVID ] |

He lost bunch weight from being sick, he is only 6'2", he was running in 260lb range, could he tightened up and be a 250 faster form of himself? Feed the def QB calls and be the monster MLB we really haven't had since Stephone Anthony?
We have a bunch of good Ends, XT could fill a whole especially if Skalski goes pro but I think he fits better at NFL level vs Pro DE?
Thoughts?

XT reminds me of that Va Tech DE, his first name was Corey, but was small/short but very quick and was more dominant than XT and gave our tigers fits about 12-15 years ago. Great college player but never made it in the pros. I see the same for XT unless he moves to LB.

He moves to QB before...

He moves to LB(Mike, Sam, or Will), he's best suited as DE in a 4-3; not as an 3-4 DE grunt or as 3-4 OLB

So you're jumping to conclusions without any facts of what conclusions you're speaking of. Now for me to take your post serious, I need to see the link of what you're saying!!!

A link from a conversation during holidays? Yes, at the time I didn't pin him down, we were probably opening some Makers after hunting. That said, I did think about it after and saw multiple possible connections.

Yeah, I don't have anything backing up his suggestion. His comments were enough for me to think and then ask.
But in the earlier season Mocks, they have XT first in drafts, then KD and the Justin.
So as i looked around ro dispute dude, I needed to ask also?

Sorry DK, Derion Kendrick, not KD.
But XT, DK, and then JKelly, as they didn't expect KJ to suggest pro yet.
I don't think any of them should announce yet as they could all jump several rounds. In the recruitment, I never thought KJ was better than XT, but if I had to build team today, KJ would be above XT!
I think that changes in 2021!

In summary, let your LSU bud (hopefully not PsychoBJ) know much like LSU was last year, we are focused on the big prize right now. So as far as XT is concerned, his status while important will take a backseat through hopefully Mon, 1/11.

I think your friend is just spitballing. A lot of us wonder what is going on with XT. He seems to have digressed but being a student athlete isn't easy especially when you throw COVID on top of it. I would be very surprised if he chose the draft route and mildly surprised if he transfers. It means no more than your buddy's wild guess, but I think that he will be back next year eager to compete. We have some great DE's but if he can't compete hear, then forget the NFL.
