Shrout in QB Mix for 2018 per Helton

I keep reading he's a "project", but according to this article, quoting Helton "...you're (fans) going to see an offense that is an exciting offense that is going to pound it out, that is going to run the ball and be a big-play offense...that quarterback that we just signed can help us do that." Maybe reading between the lines here but seems Shrout may have a legitimate shot at QB1 sooner than later.

New Vols offensive coordinator Tyson Helton wants to run the ball, throw deep | Times Free Press

I will be absolutely shocked if this kid plays during the season, other than injuries occurring. Watching his film he reminds me of a Del Rio.

He throws a real pretty ball. Wont be surprised if he becomes #2 (barring any grad transfers) in short order once fall practice rolls around.
 
Sounds like we get Chryst...but I think the PWO Bart Harris may also have a shot...not sure if he's EE.

I think you are the 1st to mention him, (BH). He could be the sleeper and step -up. This would be especially true if JG or WM decided to transfer or an injury occurred. I do expect UT to attempt to bring in a GT whom they think can compete but Chryst won't be eligible until after spring practice and they are talking about ECU's QB who is visiting Alabama 1st. Sounds like a dicey situation to me and is gonna get interesting to say the least. Heck JJ wanted the position before the Vandy game last year and then went on his rant. I don't know if it was because JG was playinginjured or JJ just doesn't think JG is a good QB. UT has to move forward and the QB situation is a stall at this juncture......who knows?
