In regards to how his teammates feel, I can only assume it's similar to when we (NDSU Wrestling Team) lost Ryan Lewis to Minnesota after his Freshman year in 1999. Much like when one of the coaches admitted that Cox didn't belong at this (FCS) level during a practice his Freshman year, Lewis didn't belong at the DII level. When Ryan left, I don't remember anyone on the team having any ill feelings toward him or his decision. It sucked, but we still went on to win the next two DII National Championships while Ryan would end up with two DI Runner-up finishes (dang Johnny Thompson had his number).
I can't speak for the 1987 wrestling team, but they too lost a gift wrestler (Marty Morgan) to Minnesota. The next year, NDSU would win their first DII wrestling title, while Marty would go on to have a heck of a wrestling career at Minnesota (he won a DI title in 1991).
With that said, I appreciate Jabril for the four seasons he competed as a Bison. And yes, I will follow his career at the FBS and NFL levels. Once a Bison, Always a Bison.
And back from my era Steve Nelson transferred from Augsburg to NDSU.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
