Portal TE from LSU is N!! Out for year, Tore ACL
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
Probably realized during camp that he wasn’t gonna play at LSU
Fidone is only a Jr this year. Unless he goes pro he's got another year left I think.
Of course IF it's actually true you can immediately play anytime you go to a program as a walk-on and receive whatever NIL the receiving school wants to pay you, it marks a drastic change in all of college football. Any player theoretically could leave any school to join the highest NIL bidder at any time. That's a drastic development for everyone. I can imagine bidding wars going on behind the scenes. You'd think though those NIL contracts would have to contain some sort of enforceable legal restrictions about ability to leave. Not sure if they do or not.
His dad always wanted to play for the Big Red but didn’t get the chance. So his heart was a legacy husker - his jersey paid the bills.
He wanted the best for his son - welcome to Lincoln!!!
Thinking if he has the year I expect he is gone, but time will tell.

So even legacy Hawkeyes know that Iowa sucks?
I_wa fans will tell you they are 4 deep with future NFL TE's already.So even legacy Hawkeyes know that Iowa sucks?
That could be a possibility. The only problem is they don't have any QB's to throw them the pigskin.
I’ll tell you what likely happened. He’s from St. Louis so he’s pretty much used to the Midwest vibe. Got down to the Bayou, which has some great football and great fans. But ultimately, they are also pretty freaking weird. If you’ve ever spent any time in the deep south, you feel like a fish out of water.
He was probably 4th or 5th string and decided to look for a place that had a better chance to play.
It hasn’t really felt like NU has a TE heavy offense these past several seasons.
Would be interesting to see the stats on targets and completions just for TEs the last five years. Too lazy to look it up tho

This is true. They got to get their deep fat frying habit under control.
So Iowa fans will now tell you that he was being recruited for the OL, he said ‘No thanks’ and headed south.
dads want their kids to play for Rhule. They know they're going to be treated well and fairly.
the roster limits per the NCAA would likely have something to do with that. We would have had to drop somebody off the practice roster I think to add him before classes started. He's got a month and a half to get up to speed in the offense then we can use him without burning his redshirt.
Got clarification he can walk on and join the team now . Heard both ways on eligibility right away however.
Thanks. I thought I heard it was closed now and then saw a post that he had entered the portal and was signing with Nebraska that made it sound like those two things happened about the same time.
Looks like a great pickup; but it’s hard to imagine a scenario where he can transfer between programs in August and immediately be eligible.
with today's rules, I don't doubt one bit that he'll be eligible. The portal was open. He started classes and he's never transferred before. He'll be good to go as soon as he learns the offense.
EDIT: now I have doubts. Portal wasn't open. Seems to be a gray area where nobody knows for sure.

Apparently he didn't enter the transfer portal. He just left LSU and enrolled at Nebraska.
How's that even work? He loses the year either way but just can't play in a game? From what I can tell the last time to enter the portal was the end of April.
You enter the portal if you want to be recruited by another team. He chose to go his own way and went to Nebraska and is therefore eligible to play right away.
Are you sure? That seems crazy. What would stop anyone who loses a position battle from transferring to the rival right before the season?
i read a story earlier today that said he had entered the portal a few weeks ago. That appears to be incorrect. I'm confused.
Probably nothing other than enrollment rules. Didn't we lose a guy to Oregon State that way. Gebbia?
I think people just call it the portal even when someone hasn't actually entered.
That's what Callahan and Sipple said. I'm guessing it was because he hadn't started classes yet.
probably need more help on the offensive line, so might run heavy sets a lot to start out protecting QB1
