He couldn't say no to Coach Prime. Actually, KJ Trujillo transferred to Idaho. He came to UNA from Colorado. Yep got his tweets mixed up….dude has transferred a lot of places. He seems to prefer black and yellow/gold colors the most

Best of luck to him. He tried but wasn’t a running back, filled a void for us to gap till this year. Moody has a good offseason in the weight room he will be something next year. Also brought in quite a few talented backs that can step in and give us some depth.

Tis the season of portal entries for football programs around the country. Hope we can keep our nucleus of players, think the continuity of the coaching staff definitely helps.

So I'm not necessarily surprised, but maybe surprised by the timing of this. Any inside info here? Is it possible one of the other guys was close to beating him out for the starting job? Not sure how to feel here. I don't think he will ever be an All-American candidate, but it's also not great to lose a starting QB after the spring.

There has to be something to this Walters transfer thing. Timing seems off. But he is a long way from home, coach that recruited him is gone, and he’s a smaller guy. Maybe D2 would suit him better. Either way, hate to lose him. Always felt like he gave 110 percent and represented the school well.

He threw some beautiful passes and also some that left you scratching your head? He played his heart out. Is there a D1 caliber quarterback behind him on this roster? Is there a transfer coming in this summer? Not sure the transfer will be ready by fall if that’s the case?

You got to imagine TJ Smith is QB1 right now, and that may have played into Walters decision making. Dearmon had multiple instances of criticism on Walters about taking care of the ball and limiting turnovers. I expect Walters to go D2: Grand Valley, Pittsburgh State, Nebraska-Kearney. Probably a Midwest D2 team that is competing for D2 championships.
Got to bring in another QB to compete for the job. QB could be a shaky position with TJ and Ben Harris being the only QB's with experience on the roster.

Jalen Hercules also transferring out…doubt he would see the field much at TE right now. Best of luck to him.

Something had to happen. He was the best QB in my opinion from the spring game. Held recruited him, now he's the HC at Nebraska Kearney. That's what I'm betting on, but I don't know. He may simply be home sick or something personal in family my have happened.
I think he's a great QB, and as far as a coach criticism towards him, that means he is coachable and that's a great thing. A coach wouldn't call you out unless (a) he knows it makes you work or (b) he's trying to make you quit. I think Walters was the (a).
I hate the way the portal is working. Don't hate kids using it, just the lack of rules that it has.

I’m not happy to hear he’s transferring but I’m not surprised. It was obvious that Coach was frustrated with some of his game play. Yet, he stuck with him over the guy he brought to town. Smith had limited play later in the season. We shall see how this all works out. I wish the best for Walters. I just hope he doesn’t transfer to another UAC team.

Now I think we know why Walters is transferring. Big time commit from Ari Patu. Transfer QB from Stanford. 6”4 215lb that’s a dual threat with a good arm.

That’s big time. Hope he is on his way so he can develop some chemistry this summer with the receivers, backs, and oline.
