What I consider a better than average QB room, gets better.

will he be eligible for 2021?[/u]

Pretty sure he played for Coach Weiner in high school which I see as a plus

Georgia tech football is a lower power5 team, having finished 3-7 overall, 3-6 in the ACC. Nonetheless, Tucker was a 3 Star QB, 2nd team All state in high school. Having said that, his fellow freshman QB Jeff Sims who started all 10 games for the Yellow jackets was a 4 star QB in high school, rated one of the best in the country. Tucker figure he was not going to supplant Sims for the starting job anytime soon, so he made the move to transfer to a mid major.

With both Bradley and Sims returning for the Rockets, Tucker could give both of UT QBs a push next season.

Hmm, he transfers to UT because GT already has a solidified freshman starter, but UT has Bradley and Finn both with 3 years left so one has to wonder his intentions here. Does he expect to compete for playing time right away as someone mentioned in the recruiting thread? Or does he ride the pine for the Bradley/ Finn years and wait his turn?

CMU also landed a nice P5 transfer from Washington (a top 100 national recruit) who should be the Chips starter right away.

Just my guess, but I see Finn transferring. I really like the true freshman (Hall) and the incoming kid from Canton (Wesley), who can both run and throw.

GT is transitioning away from the spread option to a traditional multi-look pro spread. This means total roster overhaul. An offensive linesman in the spread option is about 270 ibs, 6'1", and quick off the line. A pro spread offensive linesman is 325 ibs, 6'4", and doesn't move fast at all for the most part. As you'd expect being midway into a transition that dramatic, GT football is, by the record, HORRENDOUSLY AWFUL. Year one of Collins was rediscover pass blocking (they almost never have OL standing upright blocking in a spread option, it's all fast cut blocks) and the rest of the pass game. Year two was start to put transfers and new talent recruited to the new system on the field. You might think GT is terrible if that's all you're looking at, but they did win the Orange Bowl in 2014 finishing in the Top 10, and they're a Top 25 all time program.

Gleason was part of the first recruiting class Collins signed, one of the better ones of the last 10-15 years for GT. But the QBs keep coming in. And Jeff Sims still has definitive separation from the rest of the depth chart. Gleason makes the second QB to transfer out of GT this offseason. That tells me Sims isn't giving the QB spot and the competition is only getting tougher at GT.

Best of luck to him at Toledo.

Gleason must have taken a long look at Toledo due to Candle's personal relationship to Wiener before committing to GT. UT was one of three non P5 offers for Gleason (UC & USF).

Eli Peter says he is coming back next year also. That gives us a really large roster of quarterbacks. I hope Finn stays with the program and can find a different position.

This seems to be the best option for Finn. I don't recall the specific player yesterday who as a slot receiver threw a completion for a first down in the NFL. His college stats were displayed and he was a QB in college that for his career threw 52 TD's and 26 INT's. Point is he was athletic enough to get an NFL shot.

Unless he has a tremendous off-season Finn has to accept a new position or enter the portal.

+1

Certainly prefer to have plenty of talented options & needing to make some tough roster decisions over not having even 1 solid QB option going into next season...

That is how it goes in DI football. Will always be competing for a job, even as a starter. It's good for the program to keep upgrading where there are weaknesses. So hard to find guys like Gradkowski and Woodside - the top 2 passers in UT history, but were not exactly considered high recruits when they arrived in Toledo. It would be nice to get an All_MAC QB on the roster and supplement that with some of the great running backs we have had over the years.

BTW - nice to see Dionte Johnson and Kareem Hunt having prominent roles in the Steelers-Browns game yesterday. Both performed well, but I never heard the announcers say one time that either (or both) were from UT. Maybe they did and I missed it since I always find something to do with the game going on in the background.

https://ramblinwreck.com/roster/tucker-gleason/ , Player is a good sized, strong, mobile QB with a strong arm. Granted the clip provided was a highlight clip and not game film he runs hard and is mobile in the pocket. BIO states that he threw for 2,000 yards and ran for 1,000 yards his junior year. There was no mention why his numbers were down his senior year, but that would have been Weiner's last year at Plant. Considered a Dual Threat QB in high school with offers from Georgia, Duke, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Pitt, Toledo, Vandy, VT, and WV probably most coming after his junior year. Question in high school is what happened his senior year?

He had no o-line...played one of the toughest schedules in FL that year as well. Plant's team was pretty stacked his Jr year...made a good run in the playoffs. He's a player...will challenge for PT right away. His offers were down due to committing to GT early in the spring of his junior year. More offers would have come for sure.

Tanks for your insight, I figured you had seen him many times.

Yessir...my son was his teammate for 2 years at Plant...he's excited to have him up there.

I want to see more 3 star offensive linemen now committing to the Rockets next 2 years. Can never have enough of them.

We just got a defensive tackle. Former 4 star recruit Judge Culpepper is transferring from Penn State.
