Isheem Young enters transfer portal

Not buying it. Isheem probably won the OU game, how many fumbles did he cause, how many fumbles did he recover, how many big plays did he make. Isheem did not transfer because he was going to lose his starting position. SMH And thats no disrespect to Freyler.
So because he made a big pick over 20 games ago, you think that means he wasn’t maybe unsure about the future? He’s been losing snaps to Freyler to the point that Freyler was an HM all conference player, McDonald was locked in as a starter late in the year, and AJ is supposedly come back for a move to safety. He would’ve certainly played, but starting was not the certainty you seem to think it was. Bottom line is he was a big time hitter, while McDonald and Freyler were the two best open field tacklers on the team.
We shall see where he ends up. I will be validated!
'Probably' won what game?
Actually, how many fumbles did he cause, or recover, how many big plays?
He could head hunt really well, often over persuing or missing the tackle.
So why was Freyler playing more as the season came on?
One thing I don't see too often discussed is concussion protocol. I recall a play where Isheem hit the guy on the tackle, but got up very wobbly. He insisted on staying in the game, but the coaches got him out. I wonder if his health was in play over his snaps. It was the second such protocol event for Isheem ... that I know of.
If you’re talking the year before, that is basically irrelevant. The new guys weren't here and things can change over a year.
Young seemed to plateau if not regress and Freyler expanded.
Loved the energy of Young and his ability to strike at the point of contact like that but watching him run up on ghosts or have the runner bounce off for 3 more yards had to drive the staff batty.
His pass coverage deteriorated. He focused so hard on the run this year that he was letting passes get behind him. As a safety, your main rule is nothing behind you, he forgot that several times this year.
Yeah you can't see the back end on TV but the big play was definitely there more often.
To me it looked like Freyler makes the needed play and Young seemed to want to make THE play.
You are correct. Freyler is great, but the claim that Young transferred because he was going to lose his starting spot is just a fan defense mechanism. There is plenty of playing time available for both of them.
Isheem Young was a serious liability this year in coverage.
Watching the games over, you can see that he doesn't know the difference between our coverage schemes and is out of position on every play.
The reason for Eisworth's "regression" was he has to play two positions every snap.
Isheem Young is going to go to a blue blood and that team will realize in a couple of practices that they made a huge mistake in bringing him in.

So you are saying a team is going to regret bringing in an All Conference defensive back? Yeah I don't think they will make a "Huge" mistake. He might not play a ton but that would not be a mistake to give him a chance.
It was amazing how many times we gave up the deep ball this year when dropping back into a cover two. That can't happen. I agree, there was definitely some compensation there.
It will be a huge mistake
