2028 QB Knox Annis commits to Miami

We probably got on this early before any other team did
We got on that Annis fast

**** this is a surprise. Hope it doesn’t come at the expense of Neiman Lawrence because they aren’t in the same realm of talent, imo.


That said, I trust Dawson’s evals and this kid has played a lot of football as an underclassmen. Nickel took a big jump from sophomore to junior year. But I’m just imaging what Neiman Lawrence’s statline would be if he had Brysen Wright at WR.

Neiman had nick lennear and Cj Russell lol. His wr core easily was better than mandarins

"Stressing about a 2026 QB when by that time it could be Luke Nickel's job already would be silly."

There. FIFY
I think there’s 2 flaws with this sort of response albeit I don’t entirely disagree with what you’re suggesting.

1. Abrams & Nickel aren’t the same tier of HS ranked QB and I think most scouting services would align with that assessment.

Abrams is a consensus Top 5 ranked QB in the country while Nickel was a 3 star who got a late bump to a 4 star and was outside the Top 15 in QB rankings

2. While HS scouting doesn’t mean much and it gets real when they step onto the CFB field, Mario has shown a willingness to make whatever sort of roster portal decisions to accommodate each position: QB specifically. Abrams hasn’t been guaranteed any starting spot but he’s a good bet to potentially be our QB of the future if all pans out

All that to say it’s still a bit premature to freak out over a 2028 QB commit.
 
That’s correct. My point remains nothing says a school can’t take two top quarterbacks, and I don’t even know where this guy Annis ranks in this recruiting class, but people are acting like this guy committed so we can’t get another quarterback.

It’s just stupidity.

Look what Alabama is doing. They’ve got the number one quarterback and like the number 15 quarterback, and there is not that much difference in that list between say number 3 or 4 and number 15. So they’re taking two top quarterbacks, and they already have a quarterback room with quarterbacks in it already.

But people here act like pussies like we’ve gotta accommodate every single recruit and not recruit multiples at a position. This is what the big boys do. Our fans need to fūcking act like it, like we belong. Because we do.
I believe we should take two QBs the next two classes . We’ll have some QBs transferring. Next year imo
 
Annis is known for his arm strength, so I would love to see him again, especially in a game where he has more time. There were a couple of occasions where Annis really drove the ball, but again, most of his work came short. Right now, Annis isn’t very highly touted by the recruiting rankings, checking in as the No. 42 quarterback and No. 442 overall prospect nationally. Again, this evaluation left me wanting to see more. With that said, Annis has a good frame at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, has a high football IQ, a live arm and can command an offense. He’s a safe take behind Top 100 2027 quarterback commit Israel Abrams, who is highly touted and has an extremely high ceiling.

Hope he ain't the only QB we're taking next year...
