'26 Transfer QB options

[Dooby15]

The QB front is completely quiet for us almost too quiet. Strange…

Agreed, deafening.

It was after spring too and we took Joey Aquilar. The staff doesn't really have the benefit of the doubt but they also don't have enough to be damned by it either as it did appear we were in talks with other QBs, just none of them pulled the trigger. Understandably so imo.

I'd also like to point out that every single one of those QBs hit the portal anyways. Makes their reason for staying a bit disingenuous.

If he doesnt declare for the draft, why do people feel confident he'll transfer here? Wouldn't it make sense for him to stay at Bama?

I think it’s a given Ty Simpson has spoken to Tennessee. There is too much smoke with Andy Staples saying that it’s his dream to play in Neyland.

Ty Simpson is also a guy no one on the current roster questions. He’s a no brainer, and has a chance be a strong fit for Vols. He also makes us a more popular portal destination to guys that want to win.

Barnett to UCF ...

 

[Jackcrevol]

_a QB from X team looks in our direction:

TN- he's coming here!

 

[rockytop25]

AB3 to UCF

Where does he say that-not questioning you but I like to listen to Andy so I'd like to give it a listen!

I assume they have someone waiting to start that they don't want to run off.

On a grudge between the SImpsons and Heupel.

Still think Ty goes pro….but no grudge

Let's assume he goes pro, our best option would be Joey returning right?

Feels like we said this exact thing about WRs and Carnell Tate last year and we all know how that turned out lol…

Then it’s gotta be Joey.

Rest of the portal QBs are cheeks

Ngl, I was mad as hell when he committed to Bama, but if he wants to come home, I’ll gladly forgive him. He seems like a good dude and is a cerebral qb.

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

AB3 to UCF

That was my top choice…

 

[JCVol00]

Where do we go if Joey’s case runs past this week or gets denied? We cant put all our cards into the one basket, borderline coaching malpractice

Even this front is super quiet

It's felt like it's been assumed he just won't get awarded another year. Has something actually changed on that front?

No clue, but the fact we arent being proactive with a qb is malpractice

Could Heupel get a JUCO qb after the portal closes?

Edit: not going that route.

What’s the grudge even about? Like it’s been years at this point

He was talking about Simpson and answered fan mail. It was earlier this morning or last night. Tbh, I think Ty could win the heisman in the system. Lots of traits that hooker had.

 

[perico]

Yea I just don’t believe DeBoer is gonna make his QB decision based on fans

I don’t think he does either, but it’s the exact same scenario Texas dealt with last year with them pretty much telling Quinn Ewers that Arch was going to be their QB in 2025 and he should declare for the draft.

George will start if things stay the same ty goes pro.

 

[Garren04]

Rhule actually upgraded I think
