Could easily take one of those other offers at a 'bigger' school and see what happens. Maybe he plays right away, maybe he doesn't. SMU for instance already has 3 or 4 guys he'd be battling for playing time. His size and receiving skills are a big positive, but his blocking is a big negative. In an offense like SMU's he'd have to be a better than average blocker, or he'd likely never see the field. From his twitter, also looks like Louisville very interested in him.

Each offer would obviously come down to fit, and depth chart needs.

If he came back to EMU, he's an immediate starter and THE MAN. He's familiar with the whole staff, as well as Keen. Familiar with the campus and players, etc. etc.

My understanding is he's welcome back by Creighton, so it would obviously be a huge boost next year if they could somehow convince him to come back.

Less than 50% chance he comes back, if I had to guess.

Sounds like he's prioritized the dream of a big-name school over the reality of getting a ton of playing time and stats at EMU. Nothing to gain and everything to lose.
