I worded that poorly. I was referring to Max having played under BVG. My bad.

Second half comeback falls short for IUP Football in 27-17 national semifinal loss to West Florida - Indiana University of Pennsylvania Athletics

Max's college career came to a close with a 27-17 defeat to West Florida in the NCAA Div 2 semi final game this past saturday.

West Florida (11-3) will play Texas A&M-Commerce (13-1) next Saturday for the 2017 NCAA Division II Championship next Saturday in Kansas City, Kan.

Redfield didn't kit up but did the previous week in a win vs. Assumption

I look forward to watching him tear up the NFL. Sounds like he's ready for that jump.

still think he's an intriguing draft prospect.

It's weird, because he's got all the physical tools, but his mental makeup doesn't favor the college game... but they will probably transport just fine to the NFL, where dudes with unique ways of thinking and operating can thrive in the right situation.

On the field the guy was a starter for us for, what, two years? At least? Max may not have lived up to his stars, but he can play. And if he can convince a team of that, he’ll get a shot on Sundays. His off-the-field issues are really nothing unusual in the NFL. Just a tough fit for Notre Dame.

So basically an environment where smoking weed on the reg and being charged with felonies is more tolerated...

That, and somewhere where having brain-wave activity similar to Kanye West's isn't a detriment, but rather can help when all of your hours are focused on football.

I think he was out of position at ND. Just because you were supposed to be an All American FS in college doesn't mean that's where they should keep him.

Max was a good WR at Mission Viejo. Had nice size and the athleticism needed to be a good wideout. Did they ever try that?

What should have been done was get him up to 215 and move him to SS. When Max was playing well, it was as a FS playing as a 2nd SS. He could have been what Derrik Allen's gonna be.

...and I wonder what's up with his little brother? Hopefully he took the soccer path like his Mom's fam did. I think his name was Landon. Pretty solid tag for a guy soccer player.

Who was going to take reps from him? John Turner?

Redfield and his third-ranked Indiana University of Pennsylvania teammates defeated, ND coach Brian Kelly’s alma mater, No. 15 Assumption College, 27-22 in an NCAA Division II quarterfinal playoff game at Indiana, Pa.

The victory might turn out to be bittersweet for Redfield, who was carted off the field during the game after making three tackles in the first half. His status for IUP’s semifinal matchup next weekend was not immediately known.

Redfield, a former five-star recruit, has amassed 78 tackles this season for IUP (13-0), with one tackle for loss, four interceptions, nine pass breakups, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble.

Remember, he also got awful coaching for basically his entire career because of how BVG micro-managed every single position and played a scheme everyone hated.

BTW, Max Redfield is the kid where I truly quit on California recruiting. There is no reason he shouldn't have been an elite player. None. But he made a lot of personal mistakes here, and didn't develop for lots of reasons... some self-inflicted.

Off and on for 2 years, yeah. Remember that he was benched a few times in place of Farley. To say he can play may be a hasty. Extremely gifted athletically, but he wasn't really physical enough to play his position at times and didn't really have a high football IQ I would say. Probably would have done better at WR as others mentioned. Certainly was some wasted potential.
