Speaks well to our Staff's ability to evaluate talent. Didn't get a lot of attention (or respect) early on then impressed in camp and blossomed. Cerebral---what he lacks in athleticism NP more than compensates for with his "game" acumen.
Solid QB, IMO.

I don't worry about his resilience as much as I do his mental capacity. I know it hasn't hurt us thus far, because he reads the d pretty well and has great instincts. However, his interviews definitely don't hint at a mental giant.

I don't want a good guy at the mic like Matt Simms. I want a QB which is what Bray is. Hell Eli Manning wasn't just great in front of the mic but we gave him a pass being Peyton's brother.

It makes me wonder about the situation of the programs at those schools when he went to the camps. It's also well talked about though that his throwing motion changed midway/late in his HS career and he came on to the scene a little later than most. To finish his HS career with going to the state semifinals for the 2nd time in his program's history, be a runner up for FL's Mr. Football, the #1 Pro-style QB in the State of FL and 8th in the nation tells me all those other schools missed out.

I think Scout may have it wrong though - I'm not sure he ever went to UCONN's camp yet he did hold an offer from them. I think UCONN was actually in his top 5 at one point. I also heard he went to FSU's camp a couple times and both times was seen being invited to talk with Coach Fisher afterwards. So who knows what went on there... maybe FSU was waiting on another prospect they were chasing before throwing out another offer.

Regardless, I'm convinced we've got a stud.

FSU was after Winstin, the QB commit they have...Peterman didn't want any part of it....

Wouldn't shock me if he puts pressure all over Bray for the starting position...the ability to pick-up the O during the spring will greatly benefit him AND the kid is mobile!

Props to Nate, J. King, and J. Croom for taking leadership roles in rallying this class and getting them excited about the Big Orange.

I think Nate is better than JW. And that's more of a praise of Peterman's abilities than it is an indictment on Worley.

I swear not having a guy like Simms on our roster at QB is such a good feeling. I have confidence in our backup QBs this year too. Pretty sure Dooley does too. I also think this will be our best QB since Peyton and that's no knock on Bray.

Talked to the coach that coached him at the all star game in Texas and he said Peterman is the real deal. Said he went there expecting these QB's to have a clue and said of the 3 he was working with that it wasnt close. Said Nathan was able to talk x and o with him and was able to read when the offense should have been doing something else at the same time the coach was able to. I do know that one of the other kids was Matty mauk?...went to Missouri I think..anyway not going to go in to great detail about that conversation but UT most def got the better of the 2. This coach put his team in the state championship game this year in SC and knows his QB's pretty well. Just thought I would pass this along.
