Also opens up the possibility he grad transfers if he doesn't win the starting spot this year.

Very true.

WTF?
D3 in that scenario.
Not to take anything away from Tyler, but this is the "expectation" now for recruits that are ready for college academically when they show up. They start classes in May of their Senior Year, so three full academic years plus 3 or sometimes 4 summers put them on track to graduate in three years, without taking heavy loads. Given the grad transfer options, I think this has become the new NORMAL for QBs especially.

That’s true, I forgot he was an early enrollee, good point.
So...time to get worried about Lewis being a grad transfer loss in 3 years?
Nope, time to assume that every QB will graduate in 3 years (remembering that the summer session after graduation still allows them to count as a May graduate).
Very few QBs will NOT meet that standard.
Portal. Best of luck, Tyler!
I think guys who've spent 3-4 years on a P5 campus rightfully should go where they're almost assured that they can be developed and start. Umass head coach and OC/QB coach have had explosive offenses. Of he can win the job, he will have every opportunity to showcase his talent. Great choice. Lytle may or may not have had P5 options, and that should not be high on the list of importance.
Hope he accomplishes those goals!

Makes sense to go someplace where he feels like he fits and will have a good chance to win the starting job and have success.
UMass is also a good school. For a kid from California who spent time in Colorado it will be a different and could be a very good experience for him.
Good luck to him.
He is gonna love the Massholes!

I hope he is successful too but they will find something to complain about. They always doHe’s probably gonna be the best QB UMass has had in years so they won’t have anything to complain about. I hope he sets records out there
Meh. Amherst is one of the crunchiest towns in Massachusetts. Not too different from Boulder, personality-wise.
Western Mass is a different vibe than the coast.
