He's the #2 QB in the nation and #15 overall in On3's opinion

yeah, he's not getting a ton of spotlight locally in the papers or local television. everyone's been high on Holden Geriner whose team won the AAAA state championship and he signed to Auburn last year. maybe it's because he was only a sophomore last year.

Sounds like you need to get out more.

Can he move? Or more of a pocket passer?

Looking at the video, he looks legit. Might even move up to that 5*

5 star #2 QB on on3

Wow. That’s some really impressive film. Especially for a sophomore. Tennessee needs to get this kid so no one else does.

 

[avolation]

Looks like a short stop playing qb with his throwing motion, but man he’s a great athlete.

 

[JO VOL]

This kid is good. He’d eat in this offense.

His team out there running “da bomb” on every play.

On3 has him fututecasted to Florida, but I think they want that QB from Texas more, so maybe that drives him away from them.

I’m worried Nico and Madden will scare off any 24 QB for us though

On3 recruiting prediction machine has him going to Mich St currently

 

[TitanicVolz]

Man idk if its just quality of coaching or what but the pass defenses hes playing against are non existent.75% of his tds or throws his wrs are literally wide open maybe they dont play with dbs where hes from

 

[Ashevolle]

Kid looks dangerous when the play breaks down. Throws accurately on the run with great escapability.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Haven’t heard a peep about this kid’s visit. Anything?

 

[Palm Beach Vol]

Impressive film he has nice touch strong arm and good feet. He would fit nice in this offense.

 

[MarcoVol]

Likes a lot of UF on the Twitter, including articles written about how good of a job they’ve done recruiting him

 

[NighthawkVol]

Soooo....did he make it in for the Bama game?
