In case you missed it. Jerrod Heard ended up ranked 5th at the opening amongst QBs. He came in ranked 9th. That was quite a surprise to many and he will likely see some nice boosts in his recruiting rankings. He came in as a guy with a reputation as a great athlete (he ran a laser timed 4.55), but raw in the passing game. He turned out to be very solid passing and in the top half of QBs, which is quite a showing considering he was unable to use his greatest asset in the 7 on 7 format.

Hope he still keeps his commitment. He's the right QB for us, IMO.

I'm just wondering what that means for Swoopes though. Move to TE?

not sure that matters. People thought GG's recruitment meant a lot to the QBs on campus at the time. Way to early to pronounce him the savior. I just wanted to pass on some good recruiting news for once.

Swoopes is staying at QB. Ideally, Brewer starts in 2015 as a Senior, then Swoopes in 2016.

Hopefully, it will be many years before Texas has another Freshman or a Soph. starting at QB.

I think Brewer will be a benchwarmer. I'm thinking we get 2 more years of Ash; Then 2 solid years of Swoopes; Redshirt Heard, and then get 2 solid years of him. (Hopefully they can all stay that patient).

I heard Connor Brewer is transferring. I didn't think he would have cracked the starting lineup anyway. I lived in Scottsdale, AZ for 8 years and followed the high school football scene out there and I can tell you it is very weak and a complete joke. There is a reason you rarely ever hear about great QB's from AZ.

I hope he does. I think a lot of that will depend on Ash. Brewer transferring makes that less likely though

Heard moves to the #1 Dual QB after the Opening. He moves up 64 spots and is now ranked the 69th best prospect in the country

So, does Swoopes redshirt? I'm thinking no.


I doubt it - but I think that would be smartest. Ash is obviously #1, and we still have McCoy behind him. Why not redshirt this year. Be the #1 backup and get solid playing time next year. Then you have potentially 3 years of eligibility left.
