If weāre looking for an experienced QB to come in and compete with Kaelin, JC French from GA Southern could be a safe option for us if he enters the portal. Comparable player to Morris, just a little taller (stats are nearly identical, granted different competition). Similar running threat. We have deep connections in GA so I imagine heād be interested we we showed interest.

Heās gotta be pulling in a pretty solid amount of actual 3rd party NIL, at least based on some reported deals: Arch Manning - NIL Deals

Last I saw Arch was at $6mil last year. So yes he can afford to give some back, but that doesnāt mean he has to give some back.

Arch is one of those that makes more elsewhere than from Texas. The amount Texas could give him in rev share is probably comparatively fairly small to his endorsements.
100% agree. Rich people donāt have to give away their money absent legal obligation to do so. Doing so can benefit them in different contexts (good will thru philanthropy, creating a better team in a zero sum funding system, appeasing the masses so they donāt question/change the status quo, etc). I wish to cheer on those that choose this route, since plenty donāt. Iām not for nominating anyone for sainthood, but a hardy āgood for youā feels appropriate.

Mendoza was a lot of fun to watch while he was at Cal too.

I remember he was good. I donāt remember 1 play or moment from Cal. Heās just got that Anne quality. Heās there heās fine but nothing stands out.

#1 player in VA from the 2023 class. Would imagine VT will be heavily interested as well.

We have not had much success from Penn State OL transfers. I donāt think the last 2 ever played and they were originally 4 stars out of VA HS.

Special Teams player for the last two seasons, just outside the 2-deep this year.

Figure heās Penn State bound. How often do QBs not follow their coach/OC?
Probably. Honestly not sure, I mean thereās so many transfer QBs nowā¦ what was the graphic they showed last night like half the CFP QBs are transfers?
