Collin Bevins Leaving Iowa State

[carvers4math]

Knew the family years ago. Thought the kids were pretty smart. Any chance he just wants to focus on school?

Is he gonna wrestle? He was probably the best heavyweight on campus.

With Gibson graduating that wouldn't take much.

On the verge of starting or playing alot - damn near July - something more to the story - if there is a story to begin with

 

[Rabbuk]

Who's the next man in?

 

[cyadict]

This is a big loss. Wish he would change his mind.

To the Twitterverse!

Did a quick search for Collin Bevins and found @Bevins18OFY. He's followed by Jake Knott so I'll take that as a confirmation that it's him.

Tweet from June 16th. Very simple but you never know.

I lost my love for the game

Hmmmmmm

Let's see. You're coming off a redshirt, haven't played a single minute of college football, you're on the verge of starting or play significant minutes in the Big XII, with a potential NFL career ahead...how do you lose your love for the game?

Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you have to love it...Definitely a big loss and I obviously wish he would stay with the team, but don't make comments like this without walking a day in his shoes.

I'm surprised more lineman don't get burned out considering their drills are pretty mundane and the offseason is so long and so much work. There are some that probably don't deal with criticism well either, which can lead to burnout I think.

Well that blows

I lost my love for golf for a couple years after college. I wasn't even good or at a high level, but after you put in 5 hours a day for 9 months out of the year, it just get's old. That is a sport that's not even physically demanding but it just burned me out and I didn't want to play for a couple years. Like I said, not even close to as intense, so I can understand. There's also the aspect that the coaching is much harder. To be honest, I'm surprised there isn't more dropout in freshman players. It's just a totally different level in BCS football especially when compared to IA HS football.

And this is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) loss out of the class we could have had too. He had NFl potential.

I trust Fred.

"So, Mr. Coe, we have great news for you! We have no choice but to play you at the DT tackle now!"

Rhoads to Nebraska

Apparently you missed the question mark.

 

[wheels686]

Even if you lost your love for football, I don't get why you would give up a free ride to college. $15k a year would be worth playing. Its not like most people enjoy their jobs. Better than having a part time job and ending up with debt.

This is a HUGE loss for an already thin DLine.

Not good at all. Gonna be a long season trying to stop the run I'm afraid.
