Elelyon Noa to transfer

Aggieinsider · Post by **Aggieinsider** » January 24th, 2022, 6:00 pm

Just got word that Noa is gonna enter the portal! Such a huge loss for next years team…

That is a bummer

That doesn’t make any sense.

Makes sense if he thinks he should be a starter. If Tyler stays healthy there’s just not that many reps for him with the crowded RB room.

Yossarian · Post by **Yossarian** » January 24th, 2022, 6:13 pm

That's a huge loss if he leaves.

trevordude · Post by **trevordude** » January 24th, 2022, 6:26 pm

Bummer. He's one injury away from being the starter

Post by **Aglicious** » January 24th, 2022, 6:27 pm

Holy damn, this is huge loss. Tyler is good but Noa was really the future and our best short yardage RB.
I believe his brother was a Senior at BSU but would have a super Senior year available. I hope we don't see yet another of our players end up at another MWC school.

I don't know what else he could want. He's already a major part of an 11-3 ranked team

Is this perhaps due to some window shopping being done by a P5? I guess we'll find out. Maybe he sees what Jaylen Warren was able to do after leaving?

On twitter his brother was pretty pissed when he got benched after fumbling. I wonder if that played into it with the family.

Now was such a stud down the stretch and was one of the most improved players and certainly the breakthrough player on the team.

Hell

That sucks, he had a good year and would have been in position to have a good season this coming year.

Post by **GeoAg** » January 24th, 2022, 7:20 pm

Best pass blocking back we have. Also, Tyler is injury prone. Also our strongest runner IMO. Noa is the best guy for the goal line and short yardage. Bummer

Transferring worked out for Jaylen Warren, and it worked out for Calvin Tyler. Hope he finds a good place

LKGates · Post by **LKGates** » January 24th, 2022, 8:06 pm

Maybe Coach Anderson can work some of his magic on him. He did convince Thompkins to back out after entering the portal.

FloridaAggie13 · Post by **FloridaAggie13** » January 24th, 2022, 8:28 pm

Wow, this hurts. Noa started the year at #3 and by December was arguably the best back on the team. He has a chance to be a big contributor here.

aggieborn · Post by **aggieborn** » January 24th, 2022, 8:51 pm

His brothers comments on Twitter all season don’t make this surprising. I was kind of thinking this was a large possibility. Absolute bummer for the team

What were his comments?

I find the timing odd. After the semester started. Did a team contact him maybe?

pilotaggie · Post by **pilotaggie** » January 24th, 2022, 8:53 pm

I saw his family at a couple of games. Not sure how you could miss them they really supported him. This would be a huge loss. I was hoping to see what he could do going forward.

I sat close to his family at the UNLV game. I could tell that they were not happy with how few touches that Noa got in that game.

Yeah I hate it too when my kid is the feature back on the last drive and wins the game.

Joking aside I was super excited for his future at USU, but it seems like he might have a “me first” mentality.

If the "me first mentality" is necessary for a chance at a million dollar contract, then more power to a me first mentality. As far as I know he represented USU well while he was here and hope he finds success.

Yeah I agree, I’ll never fault any player that leaves. I understand the game that’s being played, even the ones that don’t make sense like this one.

I agree except for David Colette. I fault him. I can move forward but I also fault him.

I was friends with him. Our wives worked together. Ended pretty quickly tho. My wife says I'm unreasonable. I don't think so.

Mine is a most peaceable disposition. My wishes are: a humble cottage with a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, the freshest milk and butter, flowers before my window, and a few fine trees before my door; and if God wants to make my happiness complete, he will grant me the joy of seeing some six or seven of my enemies hanging from those trees. Before death I shall, moved in my heart, forgive them all the wrong they did me in their lifetime. One must, it is true, forgive one's enemies-- but not before they have been hanged.
Heinrich Heine

So…uh… has Valladay from Wyoming landed anywhere yet?

Edit: looks like he landed at Arizona St.

I thought Noa was serviceable and sucks to see him go.

Tyler was head and shoulders better when healthy. Wasn’t particularly close. So I get it.

This is the position group we were most equipped to lose someone and still be fine. Don’t think this really changes much of anything for next season.

Haven't heard otherwise. Actually thought Noa would stay and Gentry, who was pretty much out of the rotation by season's end, would hit the portal. I don't know anything.

Sl7vk · Post by **Sl7vk** » January 25th, 2022, 8:38 am

So has he officially hit the portal, or is all this just conjecture right now?

2004AG · Post by **2004AG** » January 25th, 2022, 8:41 am

The weird thing is he would split carries with Tyler this year, and then he would be the main man his last two years.

For what it is worth this is still his twitter profile and pinned tweet. Obviously can change fast but not a bad sign that this is just a rumor.

thegreendalegelf · Post by **thegreendalegelf** » January 25th, 2022, 9:23 am

He is also liking tweets of USU recruits.

bwcrc · Post by **bwcrc** » January 25th, 2022, 9:36 am

247sports only has USU with 5 that hit the portal thus far and Noa is not one of them. I'm not sure how quickly it is updated, but at this point I am still holding out hope that it is just a nasty, false rumor and Noa stays. His progress this season was awesome to watch and I think he can easily be the feature back next season if Tyler's injury issues are any indication. But together they are a dynamic 1-2 punch.

What are the rules, if any, regrading schools poaching players? I.e., the Ewts reaching out to Noa and saying, "...I see you are sharing carries at a G5 school...you know with this transfer portal thingy majig, how about coming to a P5 school and competing for a starting job...?"
