2027 Portal QB discussion

Makes pretty slow reads and panics when blitzed, from what I've watched him. He's had like 1 game over 200 yards this season
This season has been a disaster for that entire program. Tosh might not last another season and his OC hire was Gattis level bad....his frosh tape is much better and has plenty of tools to work with...only thing I don't like is he is lefty, that's just painful to watch hahaha
 
If you are team Nickel this thread is not for you. This is solely for potential options outside the program. Yes, I know what Mario said in an interview from 2026.

My short list so far

Austin Simmons
Kamario Taylor
Malik Washington
Mason Heintschel

Names that are intriguing.
Cutter Boley
Drake Lindsay
Aye my guy, you gna try to keep updating your list?
 
I think these QBs signing extensions now might actually be regarded. Just finish you season and worry about that **** later. You think your school is begging to re-sign you now because you would be a top portal target, but they won’t give you the same or better offer later to return?
I think they get paid to do that. 🤷🏿‍♂️
It is what it is. Publicity.
 
The market at qb is going to be weak this cycle. I don’t see a ward, Beck, or Mensah type that would be out there. I could see some teams try to offer Lopez big money to leave wf. Stokes at Memphis is putting up numbers maybe a mid tier type team goes to poach him. Would they take a chance on a Washington or Jks? Idk if you want to go that route
 
Brad Jackson, Braden Atkinson, or Malik Washington. Not sure you could convince me strongly of anyone else over just riding with Nickel

*Assuming Simmons, Taylor, etc. aren't leaving and I haven't done my FCS research to see if there's another Braden Atkinson type out there somewhere.
 
Imagine it gets to a point where if I player doesn't re-sign with a team during the year, the team benches the player or sabotages them.

Weird times!
 
My personal top 10 thus far:

1. Austin Simmons
2. Malik Washington
3. Drew Mestemaker
4. Bowe Bentley
5. Drake Lindsay
6. Braeden Atkinson
7. Brad Jackson
8. Dylan Raiola
9. Amari Odom
10. Mason Mims

Simmons has the arm talent, athletic ability & mental acuity under pressure to be a guy that can lead a team even without elite talent surrounding him.
You put him with Miami weapons & he'd excel.
Great call on Washinton. He would crush it at Miami. I know Mario said we aren’t going to the portal but have to think if someone makes this team a national title team he would. It’s about winning

Moved to portal board
 
Kamario off the market at $7.5 million. The Oregon state QB is off the market.

Playing the portal QB market is the most stressful situation we endure as fans. 🤣 it really is high stakes, especially without the 2nd portal window

We need to get multiple Olineman out of the portal before we can sell a QB. What is our Oline next season as of no;

LT- Okunlola
LG- Congdon/Ervin
C-SJ or Woodrow
RG- Buchanan/Ervin
RT- Cantwell

Who's the swing Tackle? Can that group get it done? If I'm a top tier QB I'm not sure that's the spot I want to land. If Cantwell is actually good, lots of rumors that he was grossly overrated, it changes that lines ceiling significantly.
