Ute players for leaving and posted a big "Utah man am I" post or something a few weeks before he himself decided to bail - so he was publicly holding other guys accountable then bailed himself.

If it's accurate, it would probably just mean: he was doing his best in his role as a team captain to show leadership while at the same time coming to terms with how bad the Utah program and its culture suck.
