Officially in the portal now

My guess is that Elko's recent comments about Anderson being a safety and not a nickel has something to do with Jacoby's spot on the death chart

Jacoby was never even working out with the team from almost the time that elko got here. I can assure you this is not a surprise to anyone on the team or elko. Surprised it took this long.

Especially considering he's not even listed on the roster on the athletics website, while Howard still is, so apparently he quit the team long before today.Tejas Ag 10 said:

We will do an EA sports and plug someone else into his slot. I love the portal, it's working against these entitlements.

Always thought we would spin him down to LB.
Another one from the class that didn't work out

Was it ever revealed what player it was that showed up late to one of the first team meetings with Elko and then told to hit the road?:

this was announced a while back but just became official because the spring portal just opened up

This was mutual. He never bought in to the new regime, so he was asked to find somewhere else to play ball.

Article says we have 90 scholarship players after Mathews leaves so we still have 5 to go?

At least. More if we're planning on adding anyone, which we probably are.cevans_40 said:

I think we brought in at least 3 OL from the portal and didn't lose much there so that might be another one or two.
With as many CBs as we brought in, you would expect one or two (at least) of them to part ways as well.cevans_40 said:

Lots of competition in the defensive backfield with all the transfers. Glass half-full types will see this as an opportunity to improve. Pessimists see this as a knock on A&M.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Also thought he was already gone when he announced and thought he was LSU bound (at least per my LA friends who think he's a stud player...apparently something else as a HS phenom).
What's the status of the Vandy player hybrid S/LB type player....did he decide he's not going to come to A&M also?

He can't transfer within the conference during this spring period. At least not without sitting out a year.

The Vandy guy I think is graduating this Spring so he will join in June. And I think he likely takes the role that Mathews had.90ags said:

They won't enforce all of these arbitrary rules with all of the lawsuits going on, he'll simply just file a waiver and I'm sure it will be approved
There is no legal basis to tell a kid where he can or can't go to school
