Rivals had him as 16th best QB in 2010. ESPN had him at 91st in 2010. He could be good, but a ranking system alone might not be enough to jump on the bandwagon. Id like to see more of his stats. Nice offseason grab.

For some reason, the super high ranked players haven't seemed to work for Troy lately. We had a guy at corner a year or two ago that was the #2 corner (ESPN, #6 on Rivals) from 2011 I believe. He was second string most of the season. We had Josh Jarboe (#3 WR on ESPN from 2007 or 2008) who did little at Troy but made waves at Arkansas State.

Of course the reason we are so excited is because it gives us hope for this season. We have a veteran team, that should be way better on defense and the skill positions, a little worse on OL, but QB was the kicker than was going to keep us from improving this year and having a chance to make a run at the title. He may not be the answer, but at least there is a chance he is.

Absolutely. There is always a chance. Maybe his previous schools or the system they ran weren't the right fit for him. Best of luck this season.
