Kirkland had played in all of OSU’s games since arriving on campus.
Looked like Tarzan, played like Jane.
I don’t like this one.

From Loyal and True to Portal and Poo!!!
I understand the sentiment but it’s not just us.
I think he was encouraged to transfer.
Agree. Kirkland loved OSU and Gundy loved Kirkland.
My guess is Grantham is implementing more stunts and Kirkland is kind of just a gap plugger, so they encouraged him to go somewhere that plays to his strengths for better tape
That’s pretty big heavy weight for a DT, offensive lineman build right there.
Kirk often took double teams because he’s so big and strong giving LB gaps to go through. He didn’t move laterally too well , I did appreciate his time here and wish him well
He does leave a large void, his absence will be felt.
So I’m seeing BYU contacted him and met with him while he wasn’t in the portal when they were in Stillwater visiting a kid in Stillwater HS. Awesome system we have here.
“Tampering”. College sports is beyond ridiculous. but esp CFB.
