Following news of Missouri’s postseason ban, college football Twitter speculates on future of Kelly Bryant

Missouri landed the biggest prize in terms of transfer quarterbacks this offseason when former Clemson starting quarterback Kelly Bryant selected the Tigers over the likes of Auburn, Arkansas, Mississippi State and North Carolina.

While many may have been disappointed in Bryant’s decision to leave Clemson midseason, his stock arguably was raised when Trevor Lawrence led the Tigers to the national championship. Even if Bryant was a top 10 college quarterback, the way true freshman Lawrence played down the stretch, you could argue Clemson has a top 3 college quarterback making Bryant’s decision to leave all the more understandable.

Now following the news that Missouri has been hit with a postseason ban for the 2019 season, which would be Bryant’s only season in Columbia, many in the college football world are speculating on what that could mean for Bryant’s status with the Tigers.

Could he jump back into the NCAA transfer portal? That’s something many are speculating on immediately after hearing Mizzou won’t be playing in the postseason in 2019:

I have to think that QB Kelly Bryant getting a waiver to go elsewhere would be a slam dunk. https://t.co/L4TIjYEs4C

Feel bad for Kelly Bryant being stuck at Mizzou……….. but he picked Missouri, so i don't feel *that* bad. Bad decision!

Any chance Kelly Bryant returns to the transfer portal?

I honestly had so much hope for Mizzou this year. Had the potential to be special. Now the gates are wide open and they could lose a huge amount of talent. What does Kelly Bryant do?

Imagine being Kelly Bryant. You transfer to Mizzou and then they get hit with a postseason ban.
