Mills sure does fit the profile of someone who transfers, so has to be considered a possibility.

He isn't playing next season as a RS Soph. He may not after that as a RS Junior if Costello returns for his 4th year. This would mean Mills wouldn't get a shot at starting until his RS Senior season.  By then, West, McKee, and maybe the 2020 recruit will be pushing to play.

The other factor is just getting away from Stanford in the "maybe new scenery will change his fortunes" kind of way.

I don't know anything about the Mills health situation to really understand what is going on, but maybe sitting out a year to get healthy as a transfer - without giving up a year of eligibility to do so - would benefit him and his football career prospects.
