'15 TX QB Quinten Dormady (UT Commit 6/9/14)

Lots of interceptions this year. He seems to have the arm, leadership, and swagger for the job, though.

Hopefully we'll be able to redshirt both new QBs to learn the system and add strength in the weight room.

My evaluation of Dobbs is that he has most every quality you want in a QB. His passing accuracy is less than stellar. Unlike some people, I'm of the opinion that passing accuracy isn't something that improves at this point in a QB's career. Some people conflate completion percentage with passing accuracy. His completion percentage should get better due to a variety of factors like (a) getting through his progressions faster, (b) picking the right progression, (c) better receivers, (d) more familiarity with his receivers, (e) the coordinator adjusting to his strengths, (f) better adjustments to the defense, etc, etc. The bottom line is that he is mediocre at just getting the ball where he wants it to go. His arm strength is pretty solid for this level and obviously he is way above average as a runner. He seems like a natural leader. My overall point is that Dobbs could have a great collegiate career, but we just need to be aware that his accuracy isn't great and probably never will be. That doesn't mean we can't compete for an SEC title with him at QB, which I think we can.

It would be Folly to project both incoming QBs a red shirts. Spring practice will determine what will happen to them.

I'd like to see him improve on his footwork, stop throwing off his back foot as much.

I'm sure the coaches will work on that with him.

He has nice touch on some of those deep balls.

On Tuesday, Tennessee head coach Butch Jones and offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian spent the day in Borene, Texas, meeting with Dormady and his family as Dormady is just a month away from being on campus at Tennessee.

"It was a good visit. It's kind of weird talking to them because I'm taking my official visit next weekend so I still have that and then I'll be back-and-forth from being up there then coming home and then being up there for good in early January," Dormady said. "It was a good visit, just caught up. The last time they were down here they watched me play but we couldn't talk or anything like that. Nothing specific, it was just good to get to know he coaches more. That was a big thing on why I chose Tennessee; it feels like home. Everybody is so welcoming, the fan base is welcoming and that's how I feel about it."

"They had a tremendous season, building on what they did last year and making it to a bowl game this year, which I think is huge," Dormady said. "The season was a lot of fun to watch. Then, just thinking that I'm going to be a part of that team next year and help them try and build on this season is just fun to think about. I can't wait to be a part of it and help them build."

When he arrives in Knoxville in early January he hopes to pick up the offense as quick as he can while getting to know his new teammates. "I'm just going to try and pick up things in the offense as fast as I can and things like that," Dormady said. "Then, try and put on some weight and get bigger, faster and stronger. Getting to know the guys will be big for the first month or whatever as we build for the next four or five years."

Really excited to get both of our QB's in for spring practice. It'll be so valuable for them and for the program

Spring ball is beneficial to all but there are certain positions, QB for instance, that it is almost a requirement. Getting both the freshmen QB's in for spring ball will really help them get acclimated to college, the offense, their teammates, and hopefully continue to push JDobbs to keep getting better and better. Can't wait for the bowl and then on to winter workouts!

JJ will not be in for spring if I remember correctly.

However, QD will and he is legit.

Those that don't think he is athletic enough for this system will be pleasantly surprised.
