Didn’t have much of a choice. Did a lot of great things as a Ute…best of luck to the kid at the next level.

He was kicked off the team and this move allows him to save face. Maybe he stubbed/hurr his toe, but this is a bad look either way. Not sure as an NFL owner I’d give this guy a contract. Came in to the season unprepared, created contention and fighting. Interesting he and Mataela both chose to leave this late in the season.

Yeah, He’s done. I wish him the best at the next level. Last year was special to watch and he has a great story. I think he’ll get drafted late(7th) or be a priority UDFA. He has the potential to be a great power back if he can fix the fumbling issues and improve his vision. 

He is a USFL and XFL candidate if it doesn’t work out. He reminds me a Lendale White from USC.

It has begun. Hope he makes a million bucks! That said, this is why all but the top bowl games are less and less meaningful. 

[BoiseUTE]

If indeed he makes a million green backs, I hope he hires someone to help him manage it because this seems to be a huge issue for him how to manage his life. Sad but true.

“Hurt” his toe. Not sure that I buy it tbh. But no use in speculating, wish him well!

[Tednab]

Last year he was great ; this year he was a consistent distraction and disappointment, never committed to what could’ve been a breakout year for him. The team gave him all the tools, encouragement and patience. His story speaks more of the great coaching and team then it does him.

[The Miami Ute]

Good college running backs with NFL prospects are a dime a dozen. College running backs with maturity, psychological, and discipline issues have essentially zero chance of making it into an NFL roster. It’s heartbreaking to see a guy with so much talent blow what could possibly a lucrative future because he can’t take of business on his end. If you can’t make it in an environment where you have enablers constantly around you to assist you, I shudder to think what the result will be when TT is on his own.

[EagleMountainUte]

I was never a huge TT fan. I doubt he will be drafted.

He fumbles way too much. Most head coaches want you to be in the 60-70 range of touches before a fumble happens. TT puts the ball on the ground a lot.  Like a lot of close calls if he wasn’t quite down could be a live ball. 

He also still doesn’t use his pads. So he will get blown up by an NFL linebacker and most likely fumble or get hurt.
