In today’s college football, it’s rare to keep your best players.

Money talks. The portal never stops. Everyone’s always recruiting your roster.

Culture that players don’t want to walk away from.

Relationships that last longer than a paycheck.

A developmental program that still actually develops guys — not just trades for them.

That’s why Drew Allar stayed. Why Nick Singleton stayed. Why Kaytron stayed.

It’s not by accident. It’s by design.
