By all accounts from parents that I know (through our son's baseball team) that have kids who went to school with him last year, he's a real good kid. I got to see him play two years ago and he's a gifted athlete. I hate to see him leave UT. I really hope he is able to get better at Hutch and returns to UT. But it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up a little closer to home.
He was just buried in the depth chart and couldn't put on the weight needed to play the LEO. He's 6'5" but only weighs 221, and that might even be generous. Telander is 6'2" and weighs 230 for reference.
