thinking about it, and knowing he's not yet on Scholly, I'm less surprised. My bet is he comes back with a scholly and better NIL deal, as he is a key part of this defense.
We're gonna need to get used to this going forward. A lot of players are gonna be inclined to test the waters in this new world of CFB. It's just something we can expect going forward. Even die-hard team players are going to have some self-interest woven in, and no one should blame them for some of that (within reason). But for a guy like Wall, a key player on this "D," to not be on scholly yet, that's pretty understandable to test the waters / consider the options.
