Quality QB depth

Post by Swamp Gas »

With Van Dyke committing, we're now 5-deep -- Kevin Jennings, Tyler Van Dyke, Keldric Luster, Tyler Aaronson, Ty Hawkins -- in scholarship QBs, right?

Is that the deepest QB talent pool in school history?

Yeah... Wow... There's a lot for Coach King and the Pony Faithful to be excited about!!

Give me two more bone-crunching OLs and a possession receiver ... and get ready to bring the popcorn.

I heard Van Dyke will not be able to play until 2026.

When Van Dyke was fully healthy and felt comfortable with his OC, he was a top level QB who looked ready to have a good NFL career.

He was thought to be a potential high draft pick, wasn't he?
I'm so ready for next season...

Maybe the plan all along is to look at 2026.

Hopefully he is back to 100% and ready for 2026 and Ty Hawkins develops like Jennings appears to have. How strong would the QB room be with Jennings as an experienced SR, VanDyke & Hawkins as a RS FR and heir apparent? I shouldn't discount Luster and Aronson as you just never know how much and how quickly QBs can mature and develop into really talented players.
