Chaz Nimrod hits the portal

[madbamahater]

Bye

 

[LittleVol]

Dude dropped some crucial passes.

Good luck to him tho.

 

[Rocky Top T]

No big loss

Gonna be interesting at WR next year. Losing like 3 of our 5 rotation. Where the hell is Leacock? Hopefully he's in the mix next year.

 

[Coach_Z]

In the Book of Genesis, Nimrod was a mighty hunter.

In Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny sarcastically referred to Elmer Fudd as such, and children, unaware of the biblical reference, assumed it was an insult and began using it as such.

The more you know

Surprised he's not in the portal, but maybe with Webb, Chas, Bru, and Donte gone he has a path to some playing time.

 

[Volfan1000]

This kinda hurts. Wonder if he is kicking the tires for more money.

Tennessee wide receiver Chas Nimrod to enter NCAA Transfer Portal

Tennessee redshirt sophomore wide receiver Chad Nimrod is transferring and will enter the transfer portal seeking a new home.

www.on3.com

Nimrod has played in 23 career games with six starts and owns 28 catches for 309 yards with one touchdown.

This news is a bit of a shocker.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Good luck to him, but honestly this is probably good news for our WR room long-term. Kid knew he couldn’t cut the mustard here and needs a fresh start. This is harsh, but I certainly hope the standard for wide receiver at Tennessee is higher than his level of play this year.

What a nimrod

It is interesting to me that Nimrod is a biblical figure known as a great hunter but since bugs bunny sarcastically called Elmur Fud nimrod everyone now thinks it means an idiot. The cultural impact of bugs bunny is still with us.

edit: someone beat me to it!

A little shade?

Nah. Just showing love. They’re really good friends. He also showed love to Nico about OSU being a breakout game “otw”

 

[JohnnyJava]

Who are we targeting at WR in the portal? We must need at least two proven players.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Good luck to the young Man. We'll be fine. So will he. He can get more targets and likely, more NIL money elsewhere. If he thinks he's got any chance to get into the league, this is his potentially his best path

 

[Vol4ever]

Couldbt catch a cold this year!

 

[iuvol]

What’s the advantage of hitting the portal for a player who’s on a playoff team ?

i would guess it to get ahead of the other players that are in the playoffs. I would also guess that the 2 freshmen might have something to do with this. He may feel they will go ahead of him on the depth chart, Mathews may already have done so. This one hurts if we have injuries in the game with the ones that are already banged up.

We gonna be fine. Watch and see

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Oh well. We're just gonna hit the portal again like we pretty much have every year.

 

[wmcovol]

disappointing to see guys who are in the rotation elect to leave instead of playing for a NC.

 

[LittleVol]

Oh well. We're just gonna hit the portal again like we pretty much have every year.

Or not?

White (Sr)
Brazzell (Jr)
Matthews (So)
Leacock (RsSo)
Staley (RsFr)
Jackson (Fr)
Dodson (Fr)
Smith ( Fr)

Weary

Heupel preaches competition but he’s always looking for WR types to make the opposition have to defend different skillset.

If we go to the portal it will be for a speed guy imo. Or he just rolls with the guys he has.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

The play I’ll always remember him for was making that Kentucky DB eat dirt and catching that bomb from Milton in Lexington in ‘23.

 

[LittleVol]

So we’re losing
Bru McCoy
Donte Thornton
Kaleb Webb
Chaz’s Nimrod

Gaining
Jackson
Smith
Dodson

Yeah we could use a portal WR I guess.

 

[Purplehaze26]

We will still need to lose a few more. A numbers thing. We’ll be fine.

 

[DonDiego]

It's free agency run amok. That's the name of the game in college football for a very very short while. They'll fix the transfer situation soon. But for now, easily replaceable.

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Yeah I mean I appreciate the fact that he was a vol or whatever, but we can’t sit around and act like he was a playmaker. Won’t be missed in the CFB playoff. Just my opinion. Guy couldn’t make plays. Reminded me of Jason Croom the way he could get open and still find a way not to catch the ball. Best of luck to him. He’ll do great at East Carolina or North Texas or wherever he transfers.

A little shade?

I’d bet my house against it.
