Dowdell to the portal

Almost has to be one of two things. Either he wanted more money and he thought he could get it or he was unhappy with what he thought his touches would be going forward. I was only half joking when I said maybe he got his feelings hurt. Dana doesn't mince words
That burned redshirt really hurts players like him. If he ended up down the bench in 2025, he would only have 1 year to maximize his NIL. Which would be tough if for some reason he was 3rd string.

Oregon had Phil Knight's blank check and let him go. I'm guessing Rhule let him know he was only going to be a short-yardage back OR asked him to move to LB. I think Dowdell's lack of vision negates his size and explosiveness. He likes to hit people though so LB seems like a much better fit for his football future. If you don't have good RB instincts by now you are not going to develop them.

With that said, I do like him as a short-yardage RB. He does not get stuffed easily and has a nice burst for his size.
 
Williams went to high school in Missouri I'm pretty sure. They both start with M though so......
Williams left to continue his mentorship under someone he has very publicly and very often called the closest thing he has ever had to a father (Pot Roast).

Pretty straightforward and very understandable.

Agreed, but why even go through the charade of picking then? To drive up the NIL price for FSU? Seems relatively drawn out if this was already a done deal.

It’s the first time in his life he’s been highly sought after.

He’s a kid. Former walkon. Enjoying his moment.

Sorry he didn’t ask your permission first.

Nothing to do with my permission. Just surprised it took him and FSU 8+ days to finalize a supposedly pre-determined deal. Good for him if he made Knighton and FSU actually recruit him.
