'25 TN QB George MacIntyre (Tennessee)

[miket4god]

Bet he starts this year

AGREED

 

[Batman1948]

What he did in college and the NFL…absolutely. But he wasn’t all that known in HS.

Probably because the internet wasn't all the rage when he was in high school

 

[LittleVol]

Ty Simpson ( Westview) has been the best so far.
Will probably start for Alabama.
Marcel Reed (MBA) this past year will do big things for Texas A&M in the future.
Steve Spurrier (Science Hill)
Cade Thompson ( Maryville)
Bo Wallace (Giles Co)
Ingle Martin (MBA)
Joe Gilliam (Pearl Cohn)
Chad Pennington ( Webb School)
Todd Helton ( Knox Central)

I need an explanation for "best so far" to make sure I'm not miscontruing what you are saying.

Ty Simpson "has been the best so far" as compared to Heisman winner Steve Spurrier? LMAO. Hell, Chad Pennington had a better career than Simpson at this point, too.

I think he grew 4" after high school and put on 20 pounds.

Best Prospect out of high school.

Isn't that what the original discussion was?

"the 6-foot-3, 220-pounder from Knoxville, Tenn., wasn't a top prospect out of high school.
He wasn't recruited by his hometown Volunteers and he took over the starting role at Marshall in 1995 only after the two quarterbacks ahead of him got hurt."

Chattanooga, MTSU, and Marshall were three of his biggest offers. D1-AA. Webb ran the Wing-T, so he wasn't exactly throwing it everywhere in HS.

He most certainly made the most out of his opportunity!

Yep. I did forget about Sloan and Ingle Martin. Martin was a top recruit and originally signed with UF.

 

[dyllisvol42]

Best prospect out of high school is either Ty Simpson or Andy Kelley. Chad Pennington had the the best career. Guess we will see what happens with Simpson.

Hope he sucks

 

[rocytop2624]

Peyton Manning type frame when Manning first arrived at Tennessee.

He could easily be 200 lbs by his senior year.

 

[TNHopeful505]

B.J. Coleman was another highly rated one.

 

[NighthawkVol]

What he did in college and the NFL…absolutely. But he wasn’t all that known in HS.

Yep. Saw him against BGA in the playoffs and he had a really weak arm. Their offense was centered around running the ball, not Pennington. Couldn't believe he became as good as he did.

Having seen both, Kenny Minchey is better than Marcel Reed. Don't think it's particularly close.

Good call on Helton...folks forget how good he was. Had he focused only on football, he'd have been a really good college QB. Baseball stunted his football development, IMO. But he made the right choice.

I was at that BGA game as well…..

Glad I didn't tell you how big of an idiot you were then.

 

[Stacmot]

Admittedly……the list isn’t long, nor distinguished. But yes……the best this state has seen since “Jefferson Street” Joe Gilliam

Don’t forget about Rockey Felker

 

[wmcovol]

Steve Sloan- won NC at Alabama
Andy Kelly- 2 SEC championships at Tennessee
Kenan Reynolds- great player at Navy
Rocky Felker
Watson Brown
Kurt Page
Whit Taylor
Steve Matthews -signed with Tennessee, transferred to Memphis
Ingle Martin

He never gets mentioned, and certainly not the best, but: Malcom Perry at Navy also holds the FBS single season QB rushing record. He went to Kenwood class of 2015. Butch wouldn't offer him as a running back so he went to Navy as a RB, then got moved to QB lol

I knew there was another MT Navy QB but couldn’t remember his name.

 

[Vol737]

Offered by Rees at Alabama.

Lol. They can screw off

George is Mike's nephew. George's Dad, Matt played WR at Western Kentucky. If George is anything like his Grandfather, son and uncle, he will be a class act and a great addition to any program.

His Granddad coached at Vandy for maybe 5 years before the grandson was born after a HC stint at UT Martin. Not that much of a legacy. Uncle Mike played at Ga Tech during that time as I recall.
