Reality of the situation is that Hytchye has been recruited over by taller, more talented cornerbacks and his likelihood of playing time had all but diminished. In both open practices I watched, Hendrix was wearing a red jersey (no contact) and hadn’t participated in scrimmage scenarios. Thinking back, their body language served as a precursor to their departure. Neither appeared on top of their game or “all in.” This happens in college football. Players transfer. Next man up is more than a motto, it’s a reality. And, departing players are to be respected. Especially ones that leave on their own accord.
