'25 QB transfer prospects (Joey Aguilar)

[VOLumeS]

Don’t cherry pick the one time App State gets boat raced by a motivated Clemson team.

He scored 61 tds in 2 seasons at App. That’s not terrible.

Also 24 interceptions.

Aguilar in 2024 had 23 TDs and 14 int. Per ESPN.

33 and 10 the previous year, with over 3700 yards passing. Could be he just needs a JH type coach to turn it back. Also has a little more mobility than some of the other names we've heard. It could possibly work. Defitniley worth a shot if he's the only one we can get.

At this point, I see Tennessee making Joey Aguilar a priority. Obviously anything can happen and we shall see if anyone else jumps into the portal, but Aguilar makes plenty of sense. Tennessee won't be the only school in the mix, though.

I like the ND kid better as well, but I didn't think he fit our system......IMO.

IMO the ND kid would be a safer bet. In terms of leadership and game management. Think Greg McElroy at Alabama his senior year. Let the run game, defense and special teams keep you in a lot of games.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Also 24 interceptions.

That’s true. Also 24 interceptions. How many interceptions have our starting QBS thrown under Heupel? Not a lot.

 

[FBtime]

He actually had a pretty good 2023. He's decently mobile. 36 total TDs. Took NC to double overtime. The whole team regressed last year and the coach was fired so there was some sh going on with that team. Anyone that thinks this is a bad move doesn't know ball.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Also 24 interceptions.

JH might can get those numbers down. As limited as Milton and Nico were in their time here neither threw a ton of picks. HH definitely didn't.

If JH keeps drawing up plays to get guys wide open, that makes it less likely to throw picks. Milton and Nico just couldn't hit the open ones.

Stop bringing logic into this.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Swapping QBs with UCLA…..ugh. Hate that’s where we’re at but we really don’t have much of a choice. Going to be an interesting year for the offense.

I think this indicates what everyone knows -- we don't have many options, we have to make the best of our current situation. Bring him back to this side of the map and get back on course to make the most of 2025.

If I were Aguilar, I'd spend some of my summer time, and my NIL money, doing community work for East TN and West NC. Lots of overlap with the fanbases, and still a lot of opportunity to do good work for folks that need it, and use your stage to continue raising awareness. By the time the season kicks off, he'll have all of Appalachia cheering for him

Fair enough, maybe Heupel can get him back to this level if not better. If he is the guy.

 

[Garren04]

Think we couldn’t wait on Alt

 

[volfanCLT]

The Aguilar skill set fits. Would be a solid get this late in the process to come in and compete with the young kids

 

[PowerT.]

Assuming this means things didn’t work out with Altmyer? @Mrpeabody8888

Good point.

Aguilar was ranked the 84th QB prospect by 247 back in December. 84th…. I think people are just wanting him to be good vs him being actually anything more than a backup

 

[Legion of Doom]

Leavitt is the one I would really hope staff is going for. His QBR and stats as a true sophomore were really good.

 

[CamVol8]

Aguilar stinks, i’m sorry. Truly hate that this is our only option

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

2026-2027 season is going to be a pivotal year for Heupel.

Needs to get the QB situation fixed and develop playmakers or the writing will be on the wall.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Starting to feel like the only winner in this mess is UCLA

 

[Carp]

Aguilar is certainly on the lower level of guys I was expecting. But he's better than many of you give him credit for. Most of you would have hated Altmyer a year ago. Now you are simping for him.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I have a feeling this ends up with Merk as the starter this Fall. Aguilar is a fine backup option and we undoubtedly need depth.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I’ll give Joey a chance, if he ends up being the guy.

I’d like to see what he can do with actual WRs. Matthews, Brazzell, Boo, hopefully Hurry and the BYU kid would be way better weapons than anything he has thrown to.

Nah, they got a drama queen
