SIAP, found this quote interesting

This spring changed things. After spending a couple years almost entirely on special teams, that four-star sheen slowly wearing off, Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule told Pola-Gates in an post-spring exit interview to “go be great, go be a starter, go be a star player …
“… somewhere else,” Pola-Gates remembered.

Why former Nebraska safety Noa Pola-Gates chose UNM

Noa Pola-Gates — the nephew of NFL Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu — has been a regular fixture with the first team defense over the first three days of camp.

Good for him! I enjoyed going to school there; however, I spent more time in Johnson Rec than I did in class.

I do like how the staff seems to have went above and beyond to support him to find a landing spot. A little different than a school a little west of us.

I saw his mom throwing a hissy fit on Twitter when he entered the portal, saying she hated Fish. If Noa was good enough, I think he would've been playing. Our secondary was terrible at spots last year & he still couldn't see the field.

Glad to see he's thriving elsewhere.

Glad Rhule was able to give everyone a chance and have tough conversations with them. Also finding them a good home.
