Is he?  Wonder what his “value” is after being out all year. What’s your source?

He quit on the team. Good riddance

Did he?  
 

I keep asking for sources, because the Lord knows this board is prone to knee jerk reactions and jumping to conclusions. Maybe Vito or someone with the nerve to ask will bring this up on the coach’s show.

My seats were very close to the bench and I could see how disengaged he was on the sidelines.

He's never been a rah-rah, vocal leader type.  He could pretty much always be described as "disengaged" on the sidelines, even when he was a key component of the starting O-line.

I'm not going to reveal my connections to the program on here. We will let it play out. Just don't be surprised when he signs with another program in a few months.

A college player leaving us, with eligibility, signing for another program.  If someone is surprised by that sequence, I think they need to stick with Pop Warner.

Sadly in this day and age most players do not care about the school they're at and truly don't give a crap about the fans unless those fans are buying their NIL products. If they want to leave, let them leave and why do we waste so much time speculating on it.

My source (myself) feels the supposed best OLineman on our squad doesn’t want to play the last year for a team struggling to win 6 games every year. 
 

Also, was Gabe Blair getting NIL payments for us? Is that legal to get payment and sit out due to an “injury”?

He was either getting paid or just has a passion for promoting local businesses and the NIL fund.

Surely you just, everyone knows that NIL has nothing to do with paying to play 😇
