Re-al Mitchell to Transfer

[Brandon]

I still think dekkers will be a linebacker.

How do you know Purdy isn't good at QB sneaks and Mitchell is? Lol I mean have hit ever seen either of them even attempt one?

Purdy did a QB sneak against Texas and got it.

I still think dekkers will be a linebacker.

Just because someone has the body of a LB doesn't mean they will be one. What if he's the best QB we have once Purdy is gone?

I understand the prediction though. If he doesn't end up as ISU's QB, but he still wants to see the field (and doesn't want to transfer to play QB somewhere else), then LB would obviously be the position you'd think would make the most sense.

It is probably a pipe dream because most transfers are looking for more PT and not to be a backup somewhere but I would love if somehow CMC has an in with Grant Loy and Loy sees value in being one step away from leading a Power 5 offense (not wishing for Purdy injury obviously but we all know injuries happen).

A kid that is athletic like him could work at UCLA.

The problem there is UCLAs QB is only a Soph.

I have always thought at this point transferring is a big gamble for Re-al. At ISU he has a great shot at starting as a Sr. Best case if he goes elsewhere in FBS is two years after he sits out.

I saw Jay Jordan mention San Diego State as a place that would be a good fit for him. Makes sense going back to Cali, plus you get to live in San Diego.

To be 20 and play qb at a party school like SDSU would be a dream for me

I think bouman will be tough to beat out once purdy is gone.

Don’t be surprised to see 1 to 2 more players transfer.

Not to be a jerk, but one of the True Fr would probably be better suited.

 

[xboxfever]

Didn't he essentially get beat out his senior year in HS or am I remembering that wrong?

He got beat out by the 2020 #1 overall quarterback coming out of high school. He may even be the #1 overall recruit.

 

[BryceC]

Haven’t read the whole thread but I think he could do great at Nebraska under Frost.

 

[derpyherky]

Heard today that there are 2 defensive players that will enter the portal here relatively soon. Non-impact players to date.

 

[HawkJRP]

I would think we block conference teams and Iowa.

Programs cannot block certain teams anymore. Once the player is in the portal, they can go anywhere.

Kid's kind of had bad luck in that regard. Beat out in high school by Clemson commit DJ Uiagaleli. Beat out by Purdy in college. Neither one is necessarily an indictment on his ability, but rather just having an elite player ahead of you.

I agree we really dropped the ball with Re'al. There were plenty of opportunities for him to play and prove himself in game action and for whatever reason we never gave him a shot. Maybe fear or creating a QB controversy I'm not sure. Coach Campbell said players, formations, plays when he first got here. We found a way for Lanning to play on offense. There had to be more ways to get Re'Al involved best of luck to him hopefully he becomes Russell Wilson somewhere else

If we put in Re'al for 4-5 plays a game, he's still transferring. He wants to be a starting QB, that wasn't happening here no matter what "packages" we put him in for. We'be also recruited two QB's that are likely better that will be freshman this year.

 

[isutrevman]

Re-al Mitchell is not better than Brock Purdy. So how could Re-al be our best player? He isn’t.

He's saying Purdy is out best player, that's why he never came off the field.

I've heard of 1 but not the other

 

[ILikeTurtles]

If he will only play QB, then he really had no choice but to transfer IMO.

He would be absolutely devastating at QB for Army, Navy, or Air Force. That's where he should look if I were him. He's just not a pro-style QB at all.

I just wish he would have been willing to switch positions. He'd make an awesome slot WR. I'll be very disappointed if he goes somewhere else, switches to slot WR, and excels. That's what I wanted him to be at ISU.

That exact scenario happened with Phil Bates way back when after Arnaud won the QB competition. He transferred to Ohio claiming he wanted to stay at QB but then ended up making an NFL roster as a WR lol

Sucks, but I get it. The kid wants to play. Good luck to him.
