Reading between the lines, looks like we may have a prima donna type personality in play. If so, he'll have to mend his relationships with teammates and prove himself. Just made his own life more difficult (if I'm reading this correctly--big 'if'). If he leaves, his reputation will follow him.
Psychologically, it may be hard going from BMOC / Mr Everything / the center of attention in high school to just one of many great athletes on a team, including some better and many more senior to you. Incoming Freshmen won't be treated like royalty on any reputable team. Most manage this fine and take a realistic view of things. But some have a hard time with the relative status drop. Also, note that this never seems to happen to linemen. Just saying.
(If they're tweeting about Evans, same principles apply).
