Gus Malzahn met with the media today prior to beginning the 2016 Spring Practice schedule. All credit to the beat writers who were there.
Gus dropped some interesting info in his first meeting with the press for 2016's football season. He updated the status of Chris Laye (confirmed that he's left the team) and also announced that JaViere Mitchell has received his degree and will not be a part of the team. Mitchell, as a linebacker, is a big loss just for depth. Rivals noted that Montavious Atkinson will move up from the defensive backfield and compete for a linebacker spot.
