zipsoutsider Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I've decided to get my release from the University of Akron football program & pursue a graduate transfer for my 5th year of eligibility. — Logan Tuley-Tillman (@TuleyTillman) January 11, 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 20% of the offense that didn't graduate. Seems high to me considering they were 2 of the most high profile players returning on offense. Nobody else is really good enough to go play elsewhere.

K92 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Very strange. This guy tested the transfer waters last year and obviously thought Akron was his best option. What changed his mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One going to the NFL, one going to his 3rd school. Not really that unusual for D1. But, I guess if there is a negative angle to be four.... 6 minutes ago, K92 said: Very strange.

Not sure if he never bothered changing it or if it is new.He also has this as his pinned tweet.

LZIp Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) A little confused as he was a grad transfer last season...or did he get his masters in a year and is pursuing PhD? Edited January 12, 2017 by LZIp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he received his Bachelors degree in December from Michigan. BGS on the left side of that yellow ribbon probably means Bachelor of General Studies.

That could be it, and since he has 1 year of eligibility remaining after 2016 he is free to go to another school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Bummer to lose a solid senior left tackle. Luckily we have some good depth on the OL now-a-days. Quigly did a really nice job at center when he got a chance to play against Ball State. Maybe whatever shuffling of the line occurs gives him a chance to strut his stuff this fall. Or maybe another grad transfer shows up. OL is the least of my worries in 2017. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I, thought Quigley looked great and agree we have some nice depth there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What changed his mind? How about playing on a team that had an offense that was lead by incoherent play calling and a defense that could not stop anyone. I hate to see him go. He was a very good left tackle and the only guy on the line who could run block. he actually drove his opponent back off the line when the D knew we were going to run. I also hate losing him because he came from a top 5 P5 conference team and, to me, that gave us a greater sense of legitimacy amongst college players seeking a promising program. best of luck and thanks for sticking thru a difficult season.

Dr Z Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I noticed LTT seemed to be the most vocal among the starters coming on and off the field last season. From a distance one could call that a "leader", I'm not sure if that's true or not. I know from following him on Twitter, he has overcome a lot to achieve his graduation. Good luck to him. Hopefully this creates an opportunity for some cream to rise to the top. I hope as a group, the offensive line becomes a strength next year, and WB gets a medical exception, and stays healthy. TBD.

LZIp Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Even if he finished in summer and walked in December, he used his grad transfer this year and I don't see how he would be able to "double dip". Oh well. Next man up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
