Waterboy is somewhat friends with a freshman walk-on WR.
Anyways, he asked him about LM and the vibe he got is that it is looking like LM seems to be on-board with the following situation:
1. Spend spring mostly focusing on QB but also a little bit on WR/RB.
2. At the conclusion of spring ball, Frost has agreed to give Luke and Ed/Lisa an honest assessment of where he stands in the QB room.
3. If the conclusion is that he is not a pure QB or that Smothers has surpassed him, it seems Luke is at least as of right now somewhat on board with moving positions or playing a “Swiss Army Knife” roll. ie. having a Taysom Hill package or two at QB, playing WR or Duck-R, and being our 3rd string emergency QB.
This is just based on rumors going around the team and who knows how accurate it is once it trickles down to walk-ons. FWIW, the kid who told Waterboy this was surprised by Wan’Dale leaving, so it’s likely it is speculative, but that’s the rumor going around right now. That being said, it seems that the departure of Wan’Dale actually might have played a role in this, as it gives Luke a clear path to having a major role and a shot at the NFL outside of the QB position.
It does check out with your original Nug that Ed met with Frost to discuss Luke’s future.
Edit for clarity purposes: this is what trickled down the grapevine to a freshman walk-on receiver, so like a game of telephone, take it for what it’s worth, and don’t shoot the messenger when Luke ends of deciding to transfer to Northern Colorado to play QB 😂
