A 3 second video of him throwing one pass has the football world abuzz? Really? Best of luck to him, but there is a lot more to the game than throwing a pass in shorts

I think it can get interesting seeing as though there is not a definitive starter yet. The fact he's still practicing with varsity and no one has pulled away with the job means its still wide openA 3 second video of him throwing one pass has the football world abuzz? Really?

That is quite understandable, but the article made it seem like he is the second coming of Peyton Manning or for that matter Arch Manning. It is one pass in his shorts. I think people put too much stock in the fact that he is Herbstreits kid. The other kids were all walk on's at either Clemson or Ohio stateI think it can get interesting seeing as though there is not a definitive starter yet.

The kid may end up being a great QB, or an average QB or a kid who never starts at St X. The hype is due to his last name as opposed to his current performance. I hope the kid ends up being a stud QB for St X but we will have to wait and see what he does on the field.He's definitely under the microscope.
As an undersized freshman I didn't think he would be in this year's conversation but his growth spurt over the past 6-8 months changed that, and he looks like he's going to grow some more.
ON3 lists him at 6'1" 180lb

With his dad and older brothers he's been around the game all his life.
I'm told he's got a great work ethic, sound mechanics, stellar teammates, superb coaches (Specht, Tony Pike and Andrew Coverdale)
Per last year's article (link below) the Herbstreit's chose StX for it's "school and culture" and because of OC Coverdale whom Kirk had high praise..."a genius", "a mad scientist" and "a college level OC".

Check your PMThere is a freshman qb that's like 6'3 about 200lbs. He's an outstanding athlete, its going to be interesting to what his impact is after this year.
Specht's quote from the Enquirer football preview article indicates the QB competition is wide open AND that whoever wins it is going to be good.I think it can get interesting seeing as though there is not a definitive starter yet. The fact he's still practicing with varsity and no one has pulled away with the job means its still wide open
Agreed. If after camp nobody wins the job outright they'll likely go with Jack based on his backup experience, though limited.Jack O'Malley had some nice passes in some of the Varsity games last season. He spins it pretty good.
He's impressive. Not your typical freshman.There is a freshman qb that's like 6'3 about 200lbs. He's an outstanding athlete, its going to be interesting to what his impact is after this year.
The crazy thing about Ryan Nolan is he would have started at probably 95% of schools in the state and been a star, and gathered a number of scholarship offers.He's impressive. Not your typical freshman.
Often times, but not always, a player who comes in as a QB or plays QB on JV moves to another position to play varsity.
In the past 2 years I can think of 6 players who played QB as freshmen or sophomores and changed positions to start on varsity.
Last season's team Brennan Bareswilt at safety, Ryan Nolan at corner and Max Klare at tight end.
Previous year Liam Clifford at WR, Drew Britt was moved to safety his junior year and Wiles Dolle was moved to corner his junior year.
This season, the 3 QBs are in different classes so hopefully they all remain at QB where they likely belong. Like Clifford and Wolf they may be D1 level QBs
I could bring up the Robbie Schoenhoft can of worms regarding not moving a D1 QB to another position (in this case TE) to make room for Dom Randolph who set QB college records at Holy Cross and tried out with the Jets but I will refrain.
Hopefully the Bombers have enough talent at all the other positions and no need to move them.
The frosh QB who is pushing the upperclassmen just competed in the elite, invite only National Futures Showcase camp in Naples, FL this past weekend.I don't like what college recruiting has become, now its all about the camp circuit and performing when there.
His goal is to follow in dad's footsteps to the Shoe.The kid may end up being a great QB, or an average QB or a kid who never starts at St X. The hype is due to his last name as opposed to his current performance. I hope the kid ends up being a stud QB for St X but we will have to wait and see what he does on the field.
Jerome Bettis kid was at the event.

heard Ross transferred out and Adams is playing offensive line3 Questions
2. Is Drake Ross playing this season?
3. With the emergence of the 3 senior defensive linemen (Antony Morris, Isiah Jackson and Dijon Harris) all of whom are getting college offers/looks and junior power5 DE Ted Hammond, do the coaches move Adams and other DLinemen to the offens
Boooooooo!heard Ross transferred out and Adams is playing offensive line
The seniors were given opportunities early in camp but in yesterdays 7v7 I believe it was just O'Malley (#10) and Herbstreit (#19)Entirely too early to tell but seeing as though it appears they are letting the seniors get 1st crack at the QB job, has anyone heard or know which way the coaches are leaning or still wide open
Bonner (#7) was playing safety/adjuster in the 7v7 yesterday so good chance he is being moved from LB to the secondaryCould Bonner play safety or adjuster to make room for one of them at Jet or is Bonner just too good at the position to be moved?
Disappointing....good luck to Ross.heard Ross transferred out and Adams is playing offensive line
Hang is not playing this season. He actually just got a scholarship to Kentucky for Diving.Bonner (#7) was playing safety/adjuster in the 7v7 yesterday so good chance he is being moved from LB to the secondary
LBs: 37-38-45 (Beck, Rose and Hang?)
CBs: 6, 14 and 31 (Houston, Hall and Harris?). #17 did not play but hanging with the CBs
Safeties: 2-7-5 (Myers-Bonner-Devine)
Anybody else attend and have better info on numbers, positions etc.?
Wow. Great for him!Hang is not playing this season. He actually just got a scholarship to Kentucky for Diving.
A lot to be gleaned from this article by Mike Dyer who I imagine consulted Coach Specht.......Disappointing....good luck to Ross.
With Fleetwood moved to center, Adams would make a good guard replacement and Dollenmeyer at the other guard position?
The tackles are probably set with a pair of D1 prospects in Fogler and Kattus.
