Edwin Freeman Transferring

[Daniel Seahorn]

Senior linebacker Edwin Freeman announced on Twitter he is electing to play his final year of eligibility elsewhere.

I hate to see this happen, but good luck to the young man. I hope he prospers at his next stop.

This is not all that surprising, in my opinion. I think Strong really liked Freeman, but the new staff preferred some other guys. The writing was on the wall after he only played in 5 games last year.

You may be right, but I read somewhere that he was projected to be a starter this year.  Really hate to lose him, but wish him well.

Current scholarships total is at 83. Do we add another grad transfer or give a scholarship to a walkon?

Can't we carry them over to the 2019 class?

Yes, but I was thinking about a senior walkon could get the scholarship or a senior grad transfer. Both would graduate and wouldn't interfere with the 2019 class numbers.

I don't think he would have started. Freeman has come a long way, but he didn't end up being what some thought he could be. IMO, its in his head or something. Just not there when he needs to be and there's a lack of bringing the wood that comes to mind. He was depth this year.

I wish him well. Hope he turns it around wherever he ends up.

He never did anything wrong and got his degree. Represented the university well. Hope he does great wherever he goes. Hope he goes down to a non power 5 school and really shine. Something closer to home like SMU or UNT.

I thought he showed a lot of potential at times, but maybe he just wasn't "Big 12 good enough".  Lol.  He could go to aggy and be a star in the sec.

Seriously, though, he's a good young man and I appreciate what he gave to us and I really do wish him well.

Thanks, Edwin.
