Ryan Newsome Transferring From Texas

[Daniel Seahorn]

Announced on his Twitter that he is leaving the program. Had him pegged to return kicks and punts this year, but with Devin Duvernay getting signed this summer he might have seen the writing on the wall.

Best of luck to Ryan wherever he goes.

Now we have a schollie for a Kicker

 

[DMAC]

Good luck to Newsome.

 

[Rotty22]

good luck to him.  i was waiting to see which wr was going to go.  now we know.

 

[noonan05]

Good luck to him.

I am always surprised when guys leave before the competition starts. As an athlete i have always seen someone coming to take my spot as a challenge and an opportunity to improve. I can understand guys going once they know their position on the depth chart but Devin hasn't even practiced yet.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

We knew there'd be some attrition. I imagine there will be one or two more before practice starts.

Good luck to you, young man. I hate to see you go, but if you feel you must......well....bye.

Per Higs regarding Newsome transfer:

"he won't be the last either."

yeah, ryan's a class guy.  he'll be a great catch for the field and for the program where he goes.

nope.  new direction on offense means retooling.  there's some good guys who are a better fit somewhere else.

Count me as one of the excited ones when Ryan switched from UCLA to Texas, so its disappointing news to me.  Ryan and Devin are about the same size, quickness, and speed.  

Devin: Height. 5'11". Weight. 193lbs. 40yd Dash. 4.38. Vertical. 37.7". 

Ryan:   Height. 5' 9".  Weight. 170lbs. 40yd Dash. 4.35. Vertical. 39.5". 

There was just as much excitement over Ryan as there was Devin when they signed.  So I find the proverbial "The writing was on the wall" mantra to be presumptive.  Ryan played very little last year without Devin here.  There were rumors of him leaving and Ryan posted very cryptic twitter messages hinting on him leaving LONG before Devin ever committed.  So whatever the reason is it hasnt worked out for Ryan, its not Devin.

I wish him luck. Attrition at the WR position was expected, but I was hoping that it would come from elsewhere. Seems like his move was premature and would have liked to see him compete for PT, but.... Hope his next landing spot will be his last.

Rumors swirling some Kai drama as well.

Ryan seems like a good kid but they aren't close to the same size nor do they come with the same excitement level. Ryan is a super quick little guy who was ranked 224 (low 4 star) in the country as a recruit. Devin is a blazing fast young man ranked 36 (very high 4 star). Big difference.

Rankings are not everything.  While Ryan hasnt produced on the field, Devin hasnt even seen a college game. 

But I know the feeling I have more excitement about Shane than I did about Heard.  

But notice how the "newest" incomer always has more hype.  Everyone does it and its part of the preseason excitement.

For whatever reason Ryan is leaving, I highly doubt its some new freshman coming in who hasnt even played a down yet.  As he has already stated on twitter.

 
Ryan = 4.35.

Devin = 4.38.

I remember Newsome was very upset after the previous RB coach left for another job as well. I agree with you that many things must have factored in this happening

He seems like a good young man, but seems to be a bit mentally fragile. I still remember his original commitment to UCLA. The most uncomfortable, awkward thing I gave ever seen. He eventually signs with the Horns. Now he is on the move for whatever reason, if he's being truthful about not leaving because of another person. Like I said previously, hope this is his last move.
