'18 CA QB JT Shrout (UT signee)

[nicksjuzunk]

Two straight QB’s who fans should be able to spell their last name.

Nice

Just in case you missed this story:

Meet the unheralded high school QB who already has NFL coaches salivating

Pretty strong endorsement over a pretty stacked group of QB's. We'll see, but he may be the steal of the year for quarterbacks. Good addition!

LMAO...notice who wrote the article lol:

“Coach Helton dropped the phone and started screaming running down the hall. He was really happy.]

Helton knows that potential.

Thought same thing yesterday when looking at him wish he was an EE

I mean let's just face it here,

We have a high ceiling / low floor prospect situation with this kid. He could come in, maybe as a RS Freshman (doubt as a true freshman, but you never know), grasp the offense, and gunsling us to offensive brilliance.

He could also never crack the lineup, provide insurance at backup QB until we can hopefully land someone of elite ability. Or he could crack the lineup and throw a thousand interceptions before they put in someone else.

That's what this whole recruiting saga is about. The Unknown.

I concur. He threw alot of INTs, which Darnold also did, and in this new Offense Helton will be teaching/running, the playcalling will hopefully benefit Shrout and play to his strengths. It shouldn't be alot of shotgun snaps or 5-wide sets where we put the Offense on Shrout's shoulders and rely on only him to win or score points. I think we will have a balanced, pro type of Offense. If you look at USC, the RBs get quite a few touches every game. So I think Kelly and Chandler should fit nicely in this system, and they should put up good looking stats, and the games won't be on Shrout's shoulders fully anyhow. I think Helton is a good QB coach, and I think he'll develop whatever QB he gets his hands on into a productive passer. I think JG will put up WAY better numbers statistically under this staff and Offensive system. Hopefully Shrout fits in good. Strong arm to make a variety of route throws. But, like you said - even if he doesn't develop, he'll serve as a backup (insurance policy), until we land our next "elite QB" next class. So if he develops....we end up with a diamond in the rough. And if he is an INT machine and doesn't develop....he'll be a backup until next class. No worries. New staff, new outlook.

NFL guy that ran the QB camp last summer said JT reminds them in several ways of a young Aaron Rodgers. Not that he’s the ‘next’ Aaron Rodgers, just that he’s got allot of the mechanics , mannerisms and potential style-skill set.

pruitt and staff convinced him to take an official visit to ut last weekend, just a few days before the signing period.

"it was just another option that i wanted to check out," shrout told wbir in a phone interview. "i was intrigued by the football program and i just wanted to see what they had to offer and i'm glad i went out there because i fell in love with it."

shrout liked what he heard from pruitt and athletic director phillip fulmer about the direction of the program. He also spoke with offensive coordinator tyson helton, who told him the offense would be similar to what helton ran at usc. And knoxville's welcoming people helped too.

"southern hospitality is definitely a real thing," shrout said. "that was a change from where i'm from in california, people aren't like that, so that was nice."

"i love winning and i'm a real competitive person so i'd like to turn the program around and get it going in the right direction again."

shrout only started for one season at hart high school, putting up more than 3,000 passing yards his senior year. Spending time as the backup, he focused on improving his fundamentals and knowledge of the game.

"it's like a chess match on steroids," shrout said. "i really like the mental part of the game, especially when you get to the college level and everyone around is so talented and so good, so it becomes more you have to know what's going on. It's a mental game and i love that part of it. I'm a super competitive person and it's one of the most competitive sports out there. It's just an amazing game and i like playing it."

“Southern hospitality”=hot hostess imo.

Tennessee’s coaches had never talked to JT Shrout before last week — and they convinced him to come to Tennessee. Allen, Banks and Wood Anderson never seriously considered Tennessee — or had visited Knoxville — until this past weekend, and they all ended up as Vols.

Interestingly, there was a small loose tie to Shrout. Shrout has worked out with a California qb group called qb collective. That organization is run by Richmond Flowers III who is the son of VFL Richmond Flowers who was a senior when Fulmer was a freshman with the Vols.

Love that he loves the mental side of the game. The best QBs know what to do before the snap. They know the blitz, coverage, who is gonna be open, etc. Almost like a machine. Hope this kid does end up being that for us.

Shrout looks like an underrated guy. Many if not most coaches want to start "their guy" at QB as soon as possible after taking over a team. If he signs with UT, he'll have an equal shot at starting IMO. If you want to warm the seat... then you go with QD if healthy. If you want to play for the future now... you start the Fr if there's any way you can.

Don't be surprised if Shrout is competing for playing time next year.

I am impressed with the young man. He's not the prototypical slow-footed, drop-back passer I had envisioned based on the descriptions of others. He is lean and athletic with good footwork and he's highly mobile within the pocket. Even when flushed he keeps his head and eyes up and focused downfield looking for open receivers. And on top of this, he has a lively and accurate arm.

Been awhile since we've had that kind of arm on the hill. He's got lively feet also. Not a stick in the mud. Hell he hurdles a tackler in the video. Very promising.

 

[SLICKYINC]

This guy does not lack confidence either. Found a video were he talks about having the best arm in the country.

 

[Vol Main]

Boom. Surprised me to see how many picks he threw in his senior year but get that shored up and learn in the pro style offense should set this kid up for a great career as a vol!

Shrout threads a lot of needles in the vid, which does not show the INTs. The kid mos def has skills. Will need to study a lot of film and scrimmage hard to get his brain right for the speed of college play. Very glad to have him.

 

[nashvol1]

Arm talent is great, JG has it, but want good decision making and hitting spots accurately.

 

[butchna]

It’s all a blank slate. Everything is earned or not from here on out.

 

[VOLNPA]

Great arm but you can easily see where the INTs are coming from. Almost too much trust in his arm...ala Cutler. Hopefully coaches can work on that. But dam...boy can sling it.

 

[Evergrenevol]

Really accurate, big arm.

He threw over 400 passes last year for over 3,000 yds. He completed 50% of those passes. He threw for 26 TDS and 25 interceptions. He may eventually be good, but he’s got a long way to go..It should be noted that he’s really only played 1 year of HS ball.

Yep confidence is good for a QB of course, throws off his back foot some but recruiting is all about potential some are just closer to their ceiling than others... the great thing is Shrout looks great already and still not close to potential which should be scary to the rest of the SEC!
