Bub Means believes that everything happens for a reason, and given the course his career has taken over the last three years, it’s hard not to agree.

The former three-star receiver prospect began his career at Tennessee, but he left the Volunteers after one year because he wanted to play receiver rather than defensive back, which he had been playing in Knoxville.

He ended up at Louisiana Tech, where he put up some impressive numbers in 2021 after sitting out the 2020 season due to NCAA transfer rules. But the transition to Sonny Cumbie’s new coaching staff this offseason didn’t seem to work for Means, and he entered the transfer portal once again earlier this month.

That’s a lot of transition for the first three years of college, but at one point during that journey, Means met Tiquan Underwood.

Underwood was the receivers coach at Rutgers and tried to land Means when he was transferring from Tennessee. That didn’t work out, but two years later, Means was back in the portal and Underwood was at Pitt.

This time, it all lined up.
