Back in July or August, I said he reminded me of a more polished passing version of Connor Shaw. I still believe that.

Austin Kendall said he plays with a “chip on his shoulder” every time he takes the football field.

That mentality is a major part of what has allowed him to be successful from the start of his high school career.

Kendall earned the Cuthbertson starting quarterback position as a 14-year-old just three games into his freshman season, beating out his older brother, Ryan, who moved to wide receiver.

Looking like a perfect blend of Jennings and Dormady.

I just want to go on a mini rant here for a second...

As good as Kendall is, he has terrible mechanics. That is 100 percent coaching error.

I played QB all the way from Pee Wee through high school and proper throwing mechanics was drilled into my skull on a daily basis. If I even thought about throwing a side arm pass, my coach would have yanked me out and I would be running sprints.

I'm sure Kendall's throwing motion will be ironed out at UT but grade school coaches need to do a better job of teaching basic fundamentals. They aren't doing any good not teaching their player proper technique.

These are things you should begin learning in the fifth grade...not as a freshman in college.

Austin is so talented, he can get away with a lot of stuff. He has incredible arm talent for a HS kid.

When he gets to UT, he will be in a position to RS. He won't be thrust into the fire like Dobbs has. He can learn the nuances of the game. His mechanics will improve. He will develop into a really good QB, IMO.

Top 5 QB in the '16 class, IYAM.
