2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

[LittleVol]

Jaylen Raynor entered the portal.

Go get him and don’t look back. I’d take the risk.

What risk?

He threw 11 ints this season in a trash conference. Had 400 yards rush at 2.7 per carry.

Very weak arm.

I haven’t watched them much but was just looking into him. Interesting that he plays for Butch Jones. I can’t imagine how much more fun his life could be if he played here instead lol.

I haven’t watched him. So I don’t know. But knowing Butch and the fact that he plays at Arkansas St he probably has a below average OL in front of him.

Not saying he should be the guy. But if he has tools those numbers could look a lot different here.

I'm fine with taking him. Hed be the 3rd QB eventually.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Except that’s the market now. Teams will pay that. Idk about the Vols but others will.

Oh I get that. It’s just that for us, I don’t see any transfer QB being worth 4-5 million.

Seems like you want us to get anyone who puts their name in the portal. Also, how do you know how good all the players you mention are? Have you actually watched all these guys play this past year?

Yeah I’ve watched most of them.

If there’s something you don’t like about the players I mention then, I’m all ears.

Didn’t Joey come from a meh conference, throw 10+ ints and have meh yards per carry before coming here.

Yeah….I think he did.

Oh and let’s not forget about Joey’s weak arm I keep seeing posters talk about.





App State Joey:
3000 Passing Yards
23/14

200 Rushing Yards
2 TDS
3.5 avg.


Jaylen Raynor
3361 Passing Yards
19/11

400 rushing yards
7 TDs
2.7 avg


He had 1 more TD than Joey. Again, I’d take the risk if we miss on some guys that’s all I’m saying

 

[Skooter]

When you talk about rushing yards for a qb, a reminder those include sacks. IMO, should be a separate stat somehow.
Can he tuck and extend a drive. Can he get away from pressure. Can he keep it on rpo. Can he run for 15 on 3rd and 5 when a team like TN drops 7 deep and take advantage of what a defense gives.
I don’t know. Didn’t see him play but saying a qb can’t run from looking at his ypc is nothing more than a guess.

We’re not winning big shopping at goodwill either.

You would spend 5m to get Sorsby?

Take away the sack yardage and Raynor had over 600 yards rushing, more than capable runner.

No QB in the portal is worth 5 million

 

[Sandman Vol]

Remind me if we recruited him out of high school?

Late in the cycle. First commutes to Mizzou I think. Dad was a cowboy and is crazy.

 

[therickbol]

When you are spending imaginary money and pretending like the pay of the other players on the roster is not affected by what you pay the new players then yeah sure pay him anything you want. Write him a blank check.

What is considered winning big?

 

[knoxvol52]

What is considered winning big?

It's all a crap shoot... Pay whichever QB and win it's a terrific investment. Pay $5 million for a QB and still lose the fan base goes ballistic...

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Thought he medically retired

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Thought he medically retired

truly had no idea he was still here.

good luck to him.

All people have to do is watch film. Was easy to see that Joey was going to be good if you watched his film.

But if we land Raynor they will say he's not good purely because he played at East Carolina, because for some reason these people think it's impossible for small conference players to be good.

Think you mean Arkansas St., Katin Houser played at ECU

If as been said on here, a booster has said he’d pay for a QB I certainly would.

 

[GVol1966]

What’s a championship worth?
I guarantee Ohio st last year, and whoever wins this year have overpaid for what their roster is worth, including QB.

A championship
