'26 Transfer QB options

[JCVol00]

I would also put Drew Mestemaker in also. Looks like he will be in portal too. The guy can definitely throw it.

Eh, it’s pretty much a given that he’s going to Oklahoma State

I disagree. Lagway can be and should be good with the right coach.

Don’t totally disagree…but his propensity to throw to the other team would worry me…regardless of the system.

Added the WCU qb Taron Dickens, not sure if he’d be a factor here given his size and he was in the fcs, but still is an intriguing prospect

LOLOL he completed 46 CONSECUTIVE passes in a game. I hope we at least take a look.

Right. Diego Pavia is no taller than 5-9.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Dickens would be fun to watch

 

[TrippieRedd]

I KNEW IT

 

[volfever007]

Taron Dickens would be an absolute steal.

You can mark Leavitt off the list.

Only 300 yards though, tells me they were mostly screens or easy passes

I can’t remember the last Spring or Fall update where we didn’t have drops on air with no defense. 46 passes in a row is eye opening.

 

[MrVolton]

Could be sleeping on Amari Odom.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I disagree. Lagway can be and should be good with the right coach.

Agreed. Imagine Lagway under Kiffin.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I would think there’s going to be even more entering. I just think DL and Safeties are a higher priority.

This all day. I know somebody here think QB is the only position that matters. And we do need a QB. But if we have to be careful and picky with the money, I agree that DL and safety is much more important.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Lagway is no way. Take the Bearcat, USF QB or Levitt.

 

[LargeOrange1]

You may be right. But the entire country (especially our fan base) thought the same thing about Compton and Kiffin made him above average. I have no way of knowing if Heupel could make Lagway better than Mac but coaching matters and DJ hasn’t had much.

Uhhhhhh.....who's Compton? CompDaddy?

 

[Just a VolinTears]

I would prefer to go in-house for QB. McIntyre is my pick

 

[BreatheUT]

I hope JG continues to grow as a football analyst. It's crazy that he came back to be around the program after his playing career.

Hey, you found my question I asked JG! Lol

good, we can Leavitt there then

Crompton turned the corner Kiffin helped

wished we had red shirted him. fulmer messed that one up

 

[Garren04]

JG is so likable. Seems humble.

“In the transfer portal, Tennessee continues to look into Brendan Sorsby from Cincinnati. He is in town for Christmas before he heads to the Bearcat bowl game. Texas Tech continues to be a major player there for him. We believe he would listen to Tennessee but how big does Tennessee want to swing here? If it’s not him, we aren’t sure where they would turn next. Josh Hoover is a name we think might have some interest coming from the agent side of things but he is linked to a few different schools as well.”

Sounds like it’s Sorsby or a mid/lower level QB.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Okay so moving on to the lower tier QBs.

We aren’t gonna throw around 4mil for a QB. Just don’t see it happening unless we have like an extra 10+mil laying around.

Going after AJ Harris, Tawfiq, Smothers, Cook, etc. those guys are gonna ask for a big bag as well.
