DL Willie Mobley (transfer to Orange Coast)

Merged Rumor Mill thread into main...this is confirmed from every major source.

All the best Willie.

Best of luck Willie. Says it's for football reasons only and is leaving on good terms. Sounds like he saw himself buried on the depth chart and he sees UCLA as a better shot to advance his football career. Can't fault him for that.

Best of Luck Willie! We were proud to have you as a Buckeye!

[DontHateOState]

This is just so early for transferring due to lack of playing time. I hope he does well.

[bryanhd20]

Hope he's enjoyed hearing about beating USC this summer, because that's all he's gonna hear about now. Good luck to him.

[DontHateOState]

From the sounds of it, the coaches didn't fight too hard against this, so that probably tells us something about his struggles.

[RB07OSU]

Wow, that's really a shame. I loved his potential coming out of high school and now this makes getting a DT a priority in the '10 class. Good luck to Willie at UCLA.

[BearBuck27]

Best of luck, Willie.

[MililaniBuckeye]

It's a shame he never got to play a down as a Buck. Best of luck to Willie. At least that's an additional scholarship that opens up for the 2010 class...

[MD Buckeye]

Best of luck Willie

This is just so early for transferring due to lack of playing time.

A couple of weeks of practice reps and a kid can figure out where he stands irrespective of anything the coaches may be telling them. I read this as a positive sign for how the new kids are looking.

In any case, best of luck.

By Bank/Jardy. Mobley had the full blessing and support of Tressel and Heacock in his transfer. He loved Columbus, the team and the staff, but said that for personal and football reasons this move was the best for him.

Can't fault him. I think that a change of scenery sometimes can be a great thing for an athlete.

Good luck Willie. Hope everything works out for you!!
