max gilbert in transfer portal

Well , no surprise here. Many will be ecstatic, but it just shows what incredible pressure young 17 year olds are under to perform. He will probably go on to be the best kicker in the NFL. (with our luck) . No room for error in this day and time with college football. Hope you are successful.

Can’t say that I blame him

Great news

Best of luck to the kid. As a golfer who's seen the yips, I understand it. A fresh start might be just what he needs.

NFL!!!!!

Classy response. Definitely time for him to seek greener pastures. Like you said, maybe a change of scenery; fresh start; less pressure will work out for him.

I have to say, this is the first time I have ever fully witnessed the power of these threads here on Volnation actually carry weight with the football program. First it was the DC, then defense assistants, and now our kicker. We (some of our posters) must be receiving NIL deals too.

Hate that it came to this but it is what it is. Good luck to the kid and hopefully he finds success. A change of scenery may work wonders for him.

I've been checking the mailbox daily for the check. So far nothing

Good luck Max. Thank you for being a Vol.

I need a new putt putt place. My handicap is handicapped

17?

Heard he tried to enter the portal but was wide left of it.

If Ole Miss can have a kicker that makes 90% of his attempts then we can too. Gilbert has missed 11 kicks in 2 years. 75% is below average in today’s world of kicking. You need to be at least 80% to be serviceable. And stop with this “17 year old” BS. Gilbert is a RS Sophomore and 21 years old. If you are old enough to purchase alcohol you are old enough to be criticized. 3 years into college and you can’t be depended on to make routine kicks. Yeah sorry but you can GTFO and we will find someone that doesn’t contribute to losing big games. This is big boy football, not high school.

I like the way our re-configured staff has been separating the wheat from the chaff lately.

I count 20 to the portal so far. That’s a lot to replace, even if they played minor roles.

 

[utvols74]

Maybe he should watch the UGA/Ole Miss game to see some real kickers. Those two could head to the NFL immediately.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Well no surprise with that move!

 

[Bollweevil]

Change of scenery. Will make some team a fine kicker.

 

[mackievol]

Im starting to see a trend. Announcing a portal visit is because you have been asked to take a hike.

 

[djwes]

Hope he finds a new team and improves. But in the NIL world, these "kids" are experiencing adulthood, its pay for performance.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I hope he does well wherever he lands.

Can we buy the Ole Miss kicker?

Not even close to amusing as it relates to a young man, who is human, giving his best.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

He's a good kicker. Just folds under pressure; you can see it in his eyes.

Change of scenery might actually do him good. He can become a great kicker if he just gets past the psychological hurdles. I wish him the best of luck!

He should consider a dose of Propranolol before each game. Beta blocker. Blocks the effects of adrenaline. Gets rid of the stage fright nerves without sedating or impairing judgment or reaction time. Many performers or public speakers use it.
