I’m sure all his teammates feel the same way, he could have finished out the season, filed a lawsuit and if promises were broken collect on the damages, the school would likely settle to avoid the bad PR of going to court.
Now he’s known as a quitter which makes it really hard for him to be accepted on another team.
For the lack of $97K, UNLV has destroyed player recruitment for years.
Given the money schools spend on recruiting HS athletes, I’m thinking he might not be seen as a quitter, but as a proven 3-0 veteran QB who can outplay a high school kid, even if for just one year.
Of course, he could always “transition” and be a big splash in the Lingerie League.
