Jerod Evans got cut. Hope he can go back, get a degree, work on contacts and stuff.

Go back where? He wouldn't be able to go back to Virginia Tech. And I'm not talking about football. He made a really dumb plan of attack and/or someone gave that dude colossally stupid career advice.
 
vt wouldn't let him back in as a non-scholarship undergrad student?
Why do you think Evans went pro, even though scouts basically evaluated him as "Not even close to being ready at all. No idea why he didn't return for his senior year" ?

It's not that hard to figure out.

The word is he intentionally didn't bother with classes, so he had to go pro because he wouldn't be academically eligible for his senior season. So no, he wouldn't be academically eligible to return to VT, unless they have like an academic probation setup or something.

No problem. If it's true, and it has to be because it's the only explanation, what a stupid move by him and his camp.

Seriously, go read his NFL.com draft scouting report. It's embarrassing and makes you feel bad for him.

"No idea why he came out early. No idea. He's not even close to being ready and it's a shame because he's one of those players who almost for sure would have gotten better with another year of learning." -- AFC regional scout

He was a Juco and before Fuente went to VT, Evans likely was headed to Memphis.

I expect that he is far from being a sound scholar.
 
He is our version of Elijah Hood. Smart kids can make bad decisions or get bad advice, that make them look dumb. Sorry for the kid.

Yeah but at least Elijah was drafted and appears likely to make a roster. Evans just looks like a dumbass lol.
