'24 GA QB Jake Merklinger (Tennessee)

[Glitch]

he wasn't invited bc he didn't go to any elite 11 camps bc of lacrosse

How dare he enjoy other areas of life and not football 24/7/365!

just another reason I like Merklinger.

Yeah.. I'm sure he was like, "oh no!! My ranking will go down if I do anything other than play football!!"

 

[HalfullVol]

and still folks worship the star sites

don't you have some push-ups to complete?!

star sites are over-rated!

 

[swampfoxfan]

Exciting to watch

 

[allvolrecruiting]

Hoping CDS comes up to the northern part of Georgia for a playoff game so I can catch a game. Do have a loaded schedule of Vols targets to watch this fall so I'm really looking forward to this fall but obviously really want to see Jake

Sorry if this had already been talked about but I just saw Jake was rated 91 now on 247.. What's up with that?? Other than the obvious he's committed to Tennessee lol

Didn’t go to the elite 11. 247 doesn’t like that

Was playing lacrosse and didn't get an invite, so he is obviously worse at football now.

Remember though, it didnt affect manning’s rating. He stayed at the top

Gaurantano and Worleybird attended the Elite 11

It's cool to have the *s by your name, but that doesn't worry me at all when it's a QB that Heupel wants. . . however, this guy is very good, he should be rated a lot higher.

Heupel's track record with QBs seems ok. . .

Nico didn't go either in order to play volleyball. I like the loyalty and leadership that these kids have shown, as opposed to seeking individual honors that have nothing to do with team.

Culture. They have to have talent but also have to fit the culture and mindset.

That first pass Merklinger threw in double coverage where only his guy had a chance to make a play on it

 

[norrislakevol]

This guy is good....real good. He throws the ball a lot like Hendon Hooker does. Accurate and catchable.

And a quick decisive runner as well.

 

[StoVol]

Number 10 looks like a big wide receiver if that's his position

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Insane how many weapons they have for a high school team

 

[BigVol88]

This guy is good....real good. He throws the ball a lot like Hendon Hooker does. Accurate and catchable.

Definitely not worried about the QB room for the next 4 years.
