Jumbo Package: John Metchie diagnosed with leukemia

Happy Monday, everyone. John Metchie got some tough news over the weekend.

There are reasons for optimism with John being young and healthy. With proper treatment, the prognosis for this type of leukemia seems to be favorable. Nick Saban released a statement of support.

I hate that he is going to miss his rookie season, but obviously his long term health is the top priority. We wish him the best in his battle.

Dennis Dodd notes that the transfer portal is about to get even more crazy as the NCAA is set to allow players to transfer as many times as they wish.
