Both Harris and Kizer will be great quarterbacks on the college level and qbs I'm sure coach Miles would love to have.

After watching their highlights, I noticed that both of them are similar quarterbacks.

Kizer is a little bit bigger, yet doesn't quite have the arm strength Harris does. Kizer, however does seem a little more accurate. Kizer definitely seems to have a good pocket presence and seems to be the better short to mid-range distance passer. But Harris can throw a better deep ball. Although inconsistency is hard to notice in a highlight tape, Harris seems to have the edge on consistency.

Harris and Kizer are both dual threat. Both can extend plays and can make guys miss with their feet. Harris does seem to be a little faster, though.

Both quarterbacks will need better training of their mechanics, but the raw athletic ability is there. There is no doubt both quarterbacks possess the leadership traits and the intelligence to quickly pick up how to play quarterback in the SEC.

It looks like LSU and Ohio State may be trading their in-state quarterbacks. Which one do you think LSU will sign, or do they sign neither?

Both are very good, but I'd rather just take 1 of them and be done.

Harris. Despite claiming he wants to play in the SEC, the appeal of his recent Notre Dame offer and possible future Ohio State offer will keep him up north

Here's a new article on Kizer from an Ohio paper - apparently before the ND offer was announced.

quote:

Kizer told reporters at the Elite 11 an offer from OSU would be an honor, noting that his performance at the camp “maybe would spark [coach Urban Meyer’s] eye and help me out a little bit.”

“Being my hometown school, that would be very nice, to have an offer from the big dogs on campus,” Kizer said. “But I don’t necessarily think they would just jump to the top. I’m also considering some very nice schools.”

Notre Dame must have jumped in after Kyle Allen went elsewhere. Kizer had some very good things to say about ND.
