QB Alex Delton from KSU to UTEP-NOPE scratch that TCU

He is primarily a running QB. Should be a really good talent acquisition for Dimel and the miners. Dimel's KSU ties likely influenced his decision.

That move makes perfect sense.

He will not be enjoying the Franklin Mountains. Instead, he'll be hanging at the Stockyards.

If the kid has graduated, he deserves to go wherever he wants. If he isn't allowed to, that's seriously messed up.

Right? I guess what happened is they released him to go play at UTEP and then when he changed his mind so did they. I didn't realize players still had to get a release from their former team. That's messed up man.

Similar to the OU QB wanting to transfer to WVU, same conference. Delton could have had this idea all along knowing KSU would block his request to go to a conference mate. So, Delton announced UTEP, let's the dust settle and then tries to move to TCU. I can see KSU's issue, but I have never liked that schools were allowed to do this.

I’m more interested in the next P5 D Tackle or D End grad transferring to North Texas. Could care less for all other transfers to other schools.

I don’t understand the desire to transfer in conference. Before Baker Mayfield, it was standard operating procedure to block a kid from transferring to any school on your schedule over the rest of their playing career. KSU plays TCU every year. WVU plays OU every year. I don’t understand how this is a foreign concept all of a sudden.

The only reason I'm tracking it is because he could potentially end up at UTEP still, which would be a huge addition for them. And one thing I've noticed over the past couple of years is that QB scrambles have hurt a lot against our defense. As close as the UTEP game was last year, it could get even closer if Delton ends up there next year.

This got me thinking, why don't we hear about linemen being graduate transfers? My memory could have failed, but I don't remember ever hearing about one.

Riley Mayfield, our starting RT for the past 2 years was a graduate transfer.

I hope he enjoys the Stockyards as much as he might have enjoyed Franklin Mountains. Like Kansas' rural area that feeds Kansas State, Fort Worth is a place where he is sure to find many foods made of delicious beef. If he's not muslim, he can also enjoy the many pork-themed bar-b-q joints in the greater Fort Worth-Weatherford-Benbrook Metro area.

This is some next level performance art, right?

The transfer to UTEP was fake news. TCU had alternative facts.
