He will be next years favorite among VolNation posters clamoring to play QB if Nico doesn't complete 90 plus percent of his passes, or loses more than 0 games! Looks like he can play DB as well...

 

[Backwards K]

Or maybe, he will be the starter.....

QB or DB? haha The highlight reels look great, but that's how they are designed to look. Time will tell...

90%?, 100% or he needs to go.

Looks like he'd thrive in huepels system with that touch on deep throws

 

[pasadenavol]

Can we suit him up for Saturday? Dang that deep ball tho...

 

[FBtime]

Best watched on mute. Love the way he stands in and delivers the ball in the face of the rush. No shying away from contact for this guy

I think you may be right. Every pass he threw was perfect

 

[temptn]

I think you may be right. Every pass he threw was perfect

It's a highlight film.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

He may need to play both sides of the ball lol

 

[butchna]

Didn’t you do this the other day? Not enough response with ONE thread?

 

[slobberknocker]

I think you may be right. Every pass he threw was perfect

Every pass? I've told you a million times not to exaggerate.

 

[VolFaninFla]

It's a highlight film.

 

[temptn]

Looks like he has better receivers than we do.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Looks like he has better receivers than we do.

I really good QB can make his receivers look good.

 

[temptn]

I really good QB can make his receivers look good.

And vise versa.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

He plays in a weak division and has like 4 inner city schools on schedule. Hard to gage talent against that level of comp.

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

I think you may be right. Every pass he threw was perfect

Not sure if it was scheme or talent, but his receivers were soooooo open. That will make a highlight reel look pretty amazing.

 

[vavolfan6]

He seems alright, but I do question the competition. His team is consistently routing other schools by 50 points.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

And vise versa.

Neither is happening now. That has to change.

Well rn we have 50% with our current QB and absolutely no football awareness so I don’t know if that’s true

 

[Backwards K]

We are not hearing about the great things Nico is doing in practice and how excited the coaches are about him taking over next year. That raises questions.

Why should they want to fuel a QB controversy?

 

[sjt18]

Competition may not be great but you can see some good things. His ball location and timing are very good. Good arm strength. Very good athlete.
