I hate saying this.
But, really want to see us getting back to bringing in guys who are 4 and 5 Star consensus guys when they commit

....not just 3 stars that we are hoping they get bumped up...Rivals lists him as the 66th best player in Florida
2019 Rivals.com Florida Top 100

That is just me....and if it makes me a Debbie downer, so be it...
With all that is in my orange filled veins, I want this guy to be the next Peyton.
I want the 3 Star stuff not to matter...
I want a Top Ten class not to matter....
But, until then, I will just try to think good thoughts that this is our QB Of the future and he will rock the football world.

All that being said....Welcome, Brian.....don’t pay any attention to this old worry wart Vol fan who suffers from big orange derangement syndrome. Lol...

Really great pickup. This kid has an extremely high ceiling imo.


Elite 11 Finalist QB Brian Maurer commits to Tennessee


Tennessee’s coaching staff has been searching high and low spanning several months for a quarterback prospect to add to its 2019 recruiting class. All that hard work has paid off for Jeremy Pruitt’s staff as the Volunteers have just received a commitment from Ocala, Fla., native and Elite 11 finalist Brian Maurer.
The 6-foot-4, 180-pound Maurer currently ranks as a three-star prospect and the No. 18 pro-style passer in the nation according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. Following his impressive performance at the Elite 11 Finals, Maurer has seen his stock quickly rise in the recruiting world. Since that time, the Vols weren’t the only school to extend Maurer a scholarship offer as Texas A&M and Ohio State quickly offered the Florida native.

Got to love his awareness and the zip he puts on his throws. The ball is out of his hands in a flash. Helton has to be doing cartwheels right now.

How count is he? I will not be doing my own research and will rely completely on the opinions of the Internet.

He's tied for the 29th best QB in the nation, (style-independent), I'd say that's a pretty good get. There are lot of ridiculously good players coming out of FL.

We aren't going to be 2018 Georgia on the recruiting trail Pruitt's first full cycle. I'd say we've done pretty dang good for ourselves so far considering we were a fat 0-8 in the SEC last year.

For all the 3* critics, this is Florida, and not every QB can be a 4 and 5*, not sure you understand how that gets computed. It takes a lot of time, money and traveling to get your stars, and he was an elite 11 finalist, runs a 4.5 can make all the throws..........., I think Helton has seen enough QBs to know who has "it"...........so, can anyone name the last 5* QB that has gone on to the NFL and lived up to all the hype.........without looking it up? fyi Tim Tebow was a 5* and we know how that turned out. here is a list:

2002 – Vince Young (Texas), Trent Edwards (Stanford), Ben Olson (BYU).

2003 – Kyle Wright (Miami).

2004 – Rhett Bomar (Oklahoma), Xavier Lee (Florida State), Anthony Morelli (Penn State), Chad Henne (Michigan).

2005 – Mark Sanchez (USC), Ryan Perrilloux (LSU).

2006 – Mitch Mustain (Arkansas), Matthew Stafford (Georgia), Tim Tebow (Florida).

2007 – Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame), Ryan Mallett (Michigan), Tyrod Taylor (Virginia Tech).

2008 – Terrelle Pryor (Ohio State), Dayne Crist (Notre Dame).

2009 - Matt Barkley (USC), Russell Shepard (LSU), Garrett Gilbert (Texas).

2010 – After evaluation, Rivals failed to find a five star quarterback.
