During a postseason meeting last winter, Kent State football team head coach Paul Haynes—along with his assistant coaching staff—asked Colin Reardon, who will enter his fifth season with the Flashes this fall, if he wanted to transfer.
Reardon, who spent much of the 2015 season sharing starting time with now-sophomore teammate George Bollas, instantly turned that idea down.
“I wasn’t insulted; it just kind of threw me off,” Reardon said. “Since coming here five years ago, the guys that are still here have been nothing but Kent State. No matter if things are bad, we’re not leaving this place.
