Miss State QB Will Rogers rumored to the portal.

[gohogs14]

Wouldn’t be surprised if KJ Jefferson is at Mississippi State next year

 

[Score50]

I could care less who is getting the snaps as long as they can think, read defenses, talk intelligent, be a leader, complete passes, run for a first down when needed and win games. Don’t care who his name is!!

 

[SDV]

he’s a good QB and seems like a good kid. Hope he finds a landing spot where he can flourish. I think he would ball out at Oregon

It will be interesting to see if Heupel tries to lasso Rogers from the portal.

I highly doubt it. Plus Rogers knows he will not play so UT will it be on his list.

 

[Savannahbayvol]

No. Will Rodgers will be looking for a guarenteed starting position and we can't promise him anything.

With the amount Nico is getting paid, he is going to have an edge over anyone that comes in. Huepel can say otherwise, and promise at least a competition, but Nico already sat a year and I'm sure the NIL backers want to see him play.

I still think we should target a veteran in the portal, but its going to be someone who probably didn't get the opportunities they thought would be available to them and willing to get some NIL money as a backup.

Levis worked out for them. Makes sense. If he could have one good year for UK and turn that into an NFL draft pick.

Since Nico couldn’t as a true freshman couldn’t beat out Joe.Should Heup go after him.Yes I know most of the delusional casual fans thought Nico is a Heisman candidate this year.

Something is wrong with his arm, pretty sure he is injured. Also, we have KING NICO.

I think he messed up his shoulder earlier in the year and missed a few games. His arm strength did look off a bit.

Devin Leary's season at UK points out the upside and downside of transferring there.
His rating is low, but having 20TDs and 9INTs for that team is pretty good.
Tough route to the NFL, with Levis being a perplexing exception.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

If Rogers is willing to come, why would we NOT take him? Let him and Nico compete. If Nico can’t beat him out and decides to transfer as a result, he isn’t who we hoped he’d be. If Nico is who we hope he is, Rogers would be the best backup in the SEC.

Rogers isn’t transferring just to sit on the bench.

He wants to start.

This is Nico’s team next year.

Name the Vol fan who thought Nico was a Heisman winner. It had nothing to do with Nico not being able to beat out Joe. Stop being ignorant. Rogers isn’t gonna come here and sit the bench.

I’ve read Volnation posts and others all season while people in the know have stayed Nico hasn’t been ready

 

[stillavol]

Rogers gotta be 30 now lol

Rogers is 2 years younger than Hendon Hooker and 1 year younger than Joe Milton.

Would be a disaster for him.

Shoulder IIRC. He would do well at TCU.

Yep. People develop at different speeds.
