The reaction to athletes transferring from a school usually fits one of two categories. Fans either believe it’s a sign of a failing program, or they diminish the athlete’s ability.
Armand Shyne seems to have found a sweet spot. The former Utah running back is moving to Texas Tech as a graduate transfer. Shyne is remembered for his contribution to the Utes’ first Pac-12 South championship, yet the program has so much depth at his position that his move is understandable.
Utah wouldn’t have beaten Oregon without Shyne’s 174-yard effort in the first game the Utes played without quarterback Tyler Huntley and running back Zack Moss.
