I will assume "Heads to the NFL" is thick sarcasm.GOP_Redbird said:Hopefully he has a great year in ‘19 and doesn’t need it - Heads to the NFL.

“It’s a real comfort for him and us that he has another year if he wants to exercise that year,” ISU coach Brock Spack said. “It’s good to put it in writing.”
“For fans, I would caution them it wouldn’t be a horrible thing if he didn’t come back because that means he had a heckuva year,” said the ISU coach. “If he had a great year and there was a bunch of money on the table or an opportunity to get drafted and play (in the NFL), he would have to look at it.”

I guess its possible Davis may not want to use that extra year. I believe he'd be 24 heading into the 2020 season.

Adunk33 said:It's interesting to see some say they weren't too impressed with Davis last season, and I am with you. It is important to remember, he was runner up for MVFC Newcomer of the Year. I think we have very high standards as a fan base and want to reminisce on the Roberson years. That's cool though, I think Brady will take a huge step forward as well, but I would be surprised if he was back for his final year of eligibility. He will have the chance to be like Vernon Adams Jr. and play at a mid-level P5 for his final year to try and get some more exposure. My guess would be mid-low level SEC if he has a solid year this year.
I'm just here to watch him be great! He says so himself!MadBird said:Adunk33 said:It's interesting to see some say they weren't too impressed with Davis last season, and I am with you.

So, this is the new reality -- start at a Group of 5 FBS, get "washed out" and recruited over, go to a decent FCS for two years, and then go back to a "mid-level" P5 to finish up? Geez, it's getting sadder and sadder every day. Well, hope it's not so. :x
