I wish we had them, but I respect their choice. It had to be a hard decision to make.

Big losses at WR. One of those guys may have been a starter, both 2nd string for sure. Nuss also saw time on the OL last season.

Source: Starling Thomas V underwent off-season surgery but has not been cleared for contact.

It's possible he returns this season but more than likely will redshirt* this year.

*NCAA annouced that athletes will not use a year of eligibility for the 2020-2021 athletic season.

Clarification: Barton Hicks confirms to me that he technically didn't opt out.

He's recovering from heart surgery and I wish him the very best.

I hope he gets better soon. He doesn't have to play this season.

Opting out is not the worst decision since there is not penalty and you could get more playing time.
