Looks like he is opting out and planning to transfer. Not a big loss at all. Never could stay healthy.
He dropped the ball on the goal line against LSU last year. Then there was the goal line fumble and the critical fumble the following week against OK. Maybe he's lost his confidence. Maybe a change of scenery will do him good.
Keontay is a much better back than he is given credit for and the fumble was something that didn't happen often with him to this point in his career. Average yds per rush pretty darn good and with better game plans and in game offensive adjustments, better discipline and a few other things (like an elite OL) that could be listed here he has even better stats. Keontay was not the problem at Texas..Players will have bad plays. Coaching them through them is important. I do not know if it he could not pull it together despite the coaching or was the coaching lacking.
Either way, a change will be good for both parties.
Could this influence the decision of ant '21 RB targets?
Nobody is really saying he is a bad back but more the fact he is the 3rd best back on this team.Keontay is a much better back than he is given credit for and the fumble was something that didn't happen often with him to this point in his career.

Wasn't he on the sidelines?FWIW Hernan said he has not “opted out”. That he his recovering from an ankle injury
Well now we have freshman QB Ja'Quinden Jackson in the portal as well because he didn't see any playing time this season.
He had a bad knee injury the previous year and thus not surprising he saw no action.

Kids nowadays are scared of a little competition. If things don’t go their way they just go somewhere else.
And it rarely works out the way they think it will. There are sometimes where it benefits you go get out and go somewhere else. More often than not though it doesn’t reallyKids nowadays are scared of a little competition. If things don’t go their way they just go somewhere else.

Yep absolutely. In fact because of Fields Borrow and Tate Martel transferred from Ohio Stare Worked out for Borrow not so much Martel who I think transferred again?I sure did work out for Justin fields
Also Alford and didn't Quay Davis head that way to at one point too..Keontay to USC. USC has a Texas thing going with Todd Orlando, Craig Naivar and not Keontay.
I am probably wrong buy I think I remember Priest Holmes having similar issues and he got it turned around. I loved watching him make magic happen with the ball in Kansas City.I am a Keontay fan. I like his game. He did fumble the ball in critical times, but I bet he finds a way to fix that. He will make somebody a good rb and I wish him luck.
Priest had a good handle. If he did fumble it was usually because he was suffering from injuries that nagged him. Dude was strong in the upper body.I am probably wrong buy I think I remember Priest Holmes having similar issues and he got it turned around.
