This was in the works before Bateman decided to come back.I wonder with Bateman coming back if this played into it.
Heart not in it? Not much playing time?Too bad. Timing seems odd. Why not play the season and then transfer?
Sounds like he had other interests outside of football.Heart not in it? Not much playing time?
Your question would make more sense to me if he decided to grad transfer somewhere and then play on that team, probably at a lower level to hopefully get more playing time.
My assumption would be that he was beaten out by multiple people for the 3rd receiver spot and decided that being around the team was too risky if he wasn't going to play.Heart not in it? Not much playing time?

He is very into photography. I remember looking at his twitter or instagram once and came away with the impression that he was much more than a football player.Sounds like he had other interests outside of football.
Have to disagree with you on this one. Sure it may be sad he won't be around. However he has his act together as to getting a degree, probably putting together a plan/dream that he wants to do. Since football wasn't a major part of his future he decided to pursue opportunities as they come. Thats a good thing so lets be happy for him that he got his head screwed on right!Sad stuff![]()
Exactly. He's going to graduate and can't wait to get on with the rest of his life. It isn't the perception now, but until pro football grew into a monster the main rationales for having college football were things like establishing a tradition and a bonding experience and giving young men an opportunity to go to college. That's still there but now college football is seen as bragging rights, generating money, and a chance to be drafted by the NFL. I guess you could look for hidden reasons, but I just think Demetrius is an excellent example of what college sports should be about. Good luck to him.Have to disagree with you on this one.

Would make total sense to me, if something like this is the truth.My assumption would be that he was beaten out by multiple people for the 3rd receiver spot and decided that being around the team was too risky if he wasn't going to play.
Did you even read his tweet? Lol....Too bad. Timing seems odd. Why not play the season and then transfer?
Yeah, if your heart is not 100% in it college football is not worth it because of the time and effort it takes. He would be a longshot for the NFL at best and for a lot of guys it just isn't worth it to hang onto the dream for years trying to make a team.Did you even read his tweet? Lol....
He is graduating in December and figures it is time to move on to the next phase of his live. Not everything centers around football.
