Junior and Croslen to Transfer

Bowling Green defensive lineman Kyle Junior will transfer, the school says. He led the team in TFLs and QB hurries last year. Josh Croslen, who made 9 starts along the line, already was in the portal.

So, this news from The Blade this morning.  No big surprise...in fact, if anything the surprise is that there haven't been more people leaving with the change in coaches.  Keep in mind, though, that the new staff is putting a new culture in and that can lead to other departures as the program rebuilds...and make no mistake about it, that's what we are doing.

The Junior loss is big, no doubt.  He was the top performer on an already decimated defensive line.  Croslen was off the depth chart by the end of the year and was up from Steele, so maybe not too much of a surprise.

Wish both of them the best.  They get to make choices about their life just as we all did.

Spring practice starts tomorrow, so everyone gets back to work.  It's going to take a little time to do it right, but I have a feeling we're on a much better path.
