If you're referencing Jadyn Davis, he is a 2024 recruit so he would be 2 years after this class

I like this guy better than our current commit. Stats are nuts, pedigree sounds amazing, Peyton connection etc. sounds like a perfect Heupel QB. Super Accurate, good arm talent, film junkie, team player….yeah I like it all. Ideally we get both, but I agree if the other dude doesn’t have the spirit to compete then he doesn’t have the heart for the SEC.

Vols need QB depth for '22 season.

This is a legit concern and they should try to get at least 1-2 QB's from Portal and/or 1-2 from HS/Juco.

His passing numbers through 10 games are phenomenal: 189 of 228 (82.9%) for 2,433 yards, 34 TDs, and just 1 INT. He's also rushed 29 times for 113 yards & 3 TDs.

His spectacular numbers are a direct result of the preparation and drive that his coach insists is better than anybody else he’s ever been around — including NFL Hall of Famers. “His preparation has been second-to-none,” Dilfer said. “I’ve said it since this offseason. There’s not a player in America, at any level, that has invested more into getting better each week than Luther Richesson. I don’t know where that’s going to take him, but there’s not one. I’ve been with Ray Lewis, Shannon Sharpe and John Lynch. I could go Hall of Famer after Hall of Famer. I’ve never seen anybody attack getting better than Luther. And it shows up in his game… His process is flawless. He’s on a mission, and we’re trying to give him the tools to be the best he can be.”
Nobody wants to play Luther Richesson and the Lipscomb Academy Mustangs

Quarterbacks, more than any other position in sports, are products of their pedigree. Sons of quarterbacks or of coaches often have such a distinct advantage having grown up around the game and benefitted from unique insight and perspective into the job and the game of football. Few, though, have a pedigree like the 6-foot-3, 210-pound Richesson. His dad, Luke, a former Kansas linebacker, was a longtime NFL strength coach who helped the Denver Broncos win a Super Bowl, which enabled then-12-year-old Luther to have a front row seat watching how Peyton Manning practiced and led his team.

“There was a lot of greatness on that team,” Luther told The Athletic. “Peyton was really great to me as a kid. He would throw the ball with me in between stations and talk to me. I was just too young to fully understand it, but being able to see how he led and what leading looked like, how everyone listened to him when he talked and when he broke down the weight room every time — everyone gathered around him and there’s a lot of great lessons to be learned from him.”

Richesson’s mom, Anita, is a former Olympic swimmer who set a world record in the 200-meter breaststroke when she was 15 years old. Being raised by parents whose careers have been so rooted in diligence and discipline certainly can create quite the framework for an aspiring quarterback. “Growing up, discipline actually wasn’t a thing that my parents mentioned a lot,” Richesson said. “It was more about, if you’re going to go for something, you better go like hell and go get it. They didn’t care if that meant being a doctor, being someone in sports, being a teacher, being a veterinarian. They just said: ‘One, if you want to go to college, you’ve got to get it paid for. Two, if you’re going to go for something, go all in.’ They also taught me that your word is everything. Don’t ever let someone question your word.”
The Elite 11's most interesting QB? 'Unicorn' Luther Richesson, who epitomizes 'team before self' ... and has no social media

Well written article.

Personally coached by Trent Dilfer. Not just at a camp. But everyday in practice. That's got to put him ahead in other areas.

I'll have to look at his film later, but so far this kid looks like a classic late bloomer.

Accuracy - A
Arm strength - C+
Decision making - unable to be assessed due to poor competition
Dual-threatability - B-

Based off Junior film, and reserve the right to change this opinion if more evidence comes to light.

I'm just a little north of Pulaski, is Pulaski Academy in the same level as those two other programs? If they are I've been sleeping on them.

They have played some bad teams as well....I went to the BGA game. BGA isn’t as good as they have been, but still has some FCS and DII players. Lipscomb put up 55 on them

If we have extra spots due to NCAA transfer rules, I don't see how you don't take a flyer on this kid. He seems to fit the character profile of what Heupel wants, and he provides depth at the position. He could develop into something great in a few years

Arm strength just doesn't seem to be there. He could be a Kellen Moore type, though.

I hope we offer and get him, but that is my main concern as well. That can improve some with strength and conditioning. You don't have to have a howitzer attached to your shoulder, but you need to be able to make all the throws. He would be an early redshirt/depth piece for sure. I know this might be sacrilege around here, but Peyton didn't have a cannon. It was strong enough to make all the throws, but nowhere near the strongest arm. Milton is a freaking unicorn, but Hooker has enough strength to get the job done. Success and having arm strength for QB isn't being able to throw the ball 80 yards. It is being able to fire a slant in a tight window before the DB can break. It is gunning an out or a comeback from the opposite hash on a rope without the ball having to loop out there. Arm strength is timing with your WR.

He has enough intangibles/work ethic/knowledge/size for him to be a take for me, and I hope we recruit him.
