Apparently has left the program. I'm guessing for folks who have been around the team recently, this may not come as a shock.

From all accounts he was putting out some very telling tweets. Sounds like he wasn't happy here, but it's
speculation.

My guess (I have no inside knowledge whatsoever haha) is you are right. He may have not been where he wanted to be on the depth chart. You just never know with JUCOs, some work out, some don't. Unfortunately this is a kid with crazy talent, but you still have to show and prove. Luckily we are fine at the WR spot.

That's not good. We lost 2 productive WR in Solomon and Woods. We can use all the help we could get.

Whats the deal with Jordan Merrell? Still injured?

Was wondering about him, no idea. However, with Wright, Durante, McNeal, Holmes, Harrison and Mitchell, we have depth there. Not too worried about the WRs honestly.

Wright is a proven commodity to us.

The others have talent and need to show it in an FAU uniform this year.

It's be great for McNeal, Durante and Holmes to step up this season and give us an incredible passing game to take some pressure off Singletary.

Agreed, but I feel good about who we have there. McNeal was arguably our best receiver with Parr in there. He just never seemed to get on the same page as Driskel, which is fine. Another year in the system should serve him well. Durante already performed on a much bigger stage at WVU and from all accounts should kill it out there. Who knows how much Nelson was going to be able to contribute here. I'm fine with the WRs, the key to me really is who is going to be tasked with throwing the ball to them.

No loss here folks…guy was a liability, IMHO. Another "Duron Carter type" in waiting, but more volatile…

Jake Elman with the goods:

Florida Atlantic wide receiver Nero Nelson no longer with program after signing with team in December | FAU Focus
