Dillon Johnson has entered the transfer portal

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Rosebowl just confirmed that DJ didn't make up the statement. Rosebowl said he's confirmed that " Leach did say words to the effect that Dillon Johnson is "not very tough" and that he's "kind of glad he's leaving"." Man, that's tough all the way around.

Not great comments, but honestly what do these kids expect? Everything about this sucks.

I bet that was one of the kinder things ever said by Bryant to the Junction Boys...

Wonder how much interest he will get in the portal.

A lot.

I think he just got an offer in the last couple of days otherwise if he had such a huge problem with Leach why didn't he enter Monday.

Lets not let this get lost in the mix with this Twitter slap fight. He had already lined up his bigger better deal before Leach ever said a damn thing to him. He was gone no matter what, and the reasons he is gone have nothing to do with Leach, regardless of what happened after the fact.

I was impressed with Dillon's toughness and was proud that he represented Mississippi (from Greenville) on the team. He often received the ball just as a defender was bearing down on him and he was able to grind out yardage that didn't seem attainable. He appeared to fight through injury during several games. I'm disappointed that he is leaving.

A lot.

There are a lot higher rated RBs in the portal already. But it's my understanding Oklahoma already offered him and he was wanting to negotiate or something to that effect

To quote Curly Bill from Tombstone....Well.....Bye

Called out Leach on Twitter.

Brave and stunning when you try to 17 things up on your way out the door.

Who thought I would agree with Cousin Eddie?

Different era and kids were raised differently

Who created this professional socIal graphic for DJ? My bet is Oxford or Auburn. Once the money came in for DJ, it seems like an opportunity for either coach to slam Leach.

Would love for Leach and his wittiness to come out with a press conference in response.

damn, this isn't the first time a player has left-when he should have stayed--Bear-Brown-Josh--we replaced them and kept playing football. every team is going to lose players that aren't happy. If you want to leave --please do so. I'll bet we can pick up a player that is equal or maybe better that wants to be a bulldog. Who has ever played football that a Coach hurt your feelings---everyone that has played. ****-get over it.

Reading between the lines, I think there is a chance he returns.

plus 1

Agreed, but even if it’s justified we handle that behind closed doors.

Yeah that’s my point. Dillon Johnson didn’t handle it behind closed doors.

he’s the only one who didn’t do what you are saying.
