“It’s just kind of day-by-day,” Rhule said of Farmer’s potential to return. “I love Myles. He’s a competitive kid. It’s so hard when you have a new coach and they have different standards than you’re used to, so I get that. We’ve been patient with a lot of guys. We’ll see what happens with Myles.

“The ball’s in his court. We’d love him to be here, but whatever he wants to do, I respect him as a man.”

A member of the 2019 recruiting class, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound Farmer has 112 career tackles and four career interceptions in 26 games, serving as a part-time starter in 2021 and a full-time starter in 2022, when he finished with 73 tackles and an interception.
