He wont be the last either. This is on the Big Sky believing that theyre going to have some bullshit Spring Season.
Anyone with the dreams of playing in the NFL that is in the last 2 seasons, this is the obvious choice.
They force the kids hands, play a BS short season in the spring in Montana, where a majority of the games will be snow packed and shit conditions....or basically use this time to get bigger and stronger, then go have a real and final season next year at the highest level.
I would do the same thing, risk in injury in March on frozen fields, then potentially miss your fall season, or play it safe and move on.
This shit is ON THE BIG SKY.
