LINK This Kid should get more recognition
Man those intermediate and short contested throws in coverage were impressive. His footwork in the pocket was impressive. A lot of Highschool QBs only know how to go long, this kid goes short l, long, and intermediate. Deserves a scholarship, hell we can use him here.

One opinion from an athlete's Dad that traveled the road years ago:
Looks like they are putting in the time, effort & $ required for a kid that is not a Fournette type. Guessing the geography and level of competition are a factor for this youngster.
Harsh reality is a lot of developable talent ends up in D-2 for a "books" scholarship without the needed coaching talent to truely develop the skills.
As a dad, I would pick a handful of desired programs, negotiate a preferred walk-on status & hit the student loan process to get him through a freshman year. With his GPA, he should get an academic ride. Think the Tigers have this scenario in play with this class. Reevaluate at the end of that year & make a decision about the future at that point. Some youngsters that have no chance at the NFL (most) are content to ride the bench to be a part of a program, others want to play.
The recruiting journey is not an easy path to travel, believe me.
