Scrimmage 2 Notes (Spring 2026)

[Pawleysvol]

Based on last year, most likely Mike Mathews.

I heard Matthews was held out today.

On a side note, is there a player this fanbase hates more than Mike Matthews even though he’s a really good player? Bizarre.

I was at the scrimmage today.
Gmac would be the starter if the season started today. Brandon could catch him but made A LOT of freshman mistakes (holding ball too long, horrible pick, several “sacks”). Neither look like world beaters at this point but they have absolute cannons. Brandon will be a monster once he puts it all together.

WRs looked solid, didn’t get a ton of opportunities but boy are they big and athletic.

Bishop (looks like an tank) and dude from Tulane looked good though Bishop don’t get a lot of PT.

The defense absolutely dominated. Dline played like rampaging gorillas and blew up at least 30-40% of plays. Carter was out but linebackers looked okay. DBs seem much improved from last year and are absolutely faster.

On a bad note, the kicker looked terrible. And I mean terrible.

Hopefully the kicker just had a bad day. He was pretty good at Louisville. All
Conference kicker.

We’ve heard this song before! I’m not saying… I’m just saying.

He hasn't lived up to his hype. Too many critical drops and not enough tough catches made. It's not bizarre, it's a fan base with expectations of a guy that demanded more money.

Where is Merritt playing? Corner?

Yup. 6’2” 190 4.4 speed and 40+ inch vertical .

He needed/needs to continue his to get stronger but he’s going to be a player.

Well, thankfully, it's not like a kicker can cost us a big game

Matthews had 6 drops last season per PFF. You know who else had 6 drops per PFF? Braylon Staley. They both had really good seasons last year.
