Watched some clips of Will last night. Throws a nice well placed deep ball. Kid is big and considering he’s heading into his junior year (holy hell I’m getting old) he may not be done growing. Looks like he has a good if not elite arm, but can make all of the throws. Strong enough to break some tackles but more to stretch the play, not really a threat to break a big run at this point. Seems to be cool in the pocket and not afraid to take a hit. Really good pickup and probably a good heir apparent to DL2

I watched his highlight reel and the kid is impressive. His throws reminded me of Danny Wuerffel. Not a lot of zip on them, but it's a nice, well-placed ball (insert mom joke here). He also has a great pocket presence... willing to stand in there and take hit, but also has great escapability. He can turn a would-be sack into a 5 yard scramble and gain.

I saw a few called QB runs in the later third of the reel. He's a decent runner. I wanted to say Tebow'ish, but there's only one Tim Tebow. Keeping that in mind, I think these highlights are from his FRESHMAN year, so this kid could turn into a beast by the time he's in college.

I hate to invoke the name, but his running style kind of reminded me of Franks (as of now). If he continues to get bigger and stronger I could see him being a Tebow-lite kind of runner. He's not a burner like AR, he's never going to take it 80 yards down the sideline. But he can pick up 5 or 10 yards on a designed QB run. I could see BN calling a couple of those per game to keep the defenses honest. Of course, the odds of BN still being there to call plays by the time this kid gets there are very much in question! That being said, he also seems to really love the coaches, so if they're all sh!t-canned, any commitment today may not mean very much.

Tough kid. Pretty decent runner. Very nice touch on the ball. My only concern is if lacks the zip on the ball, he will need to be smart with his throws.

I think it was a Gators online clip I watched last night. They said he was raised Gator and has been starting varsity at Tampa Jesuit since he was 8th grade. They were both high on him.

Jesuit is only 9th through 12th. My son is actually '26 at Jesuit. This news just made my Friday Nights a whole lot more interesting come Fall.

Hm... interesting, I'm pretty sure that's what they said. I'll have to go back to it.

He was the varsity starter as an 8th grader for a 2A school. Then he transferred to Jesuit last year for his freshman year and won the starting job as a 9th grader. Pretty damn impressive

Cocaine is a legitimate commodity with labor, shipping and retail involved. It absolutely has exposure to energy costs and thus inflation. The hookers though…they’re just being greedy and taking advantage, it seems. I’d reach out to Elizabeth Warren.

Obviously their cocaine costs went up, and they have to pass that on to you, the customer.

Dont think it matters much. DJ will be the starter then anyhow.

If he’s going to be the heir apparent, best to get him here asap to develop. In fact, recruit several. We need competition in that room as well as succession.

2026? With the way things are now? It is absolutely meaningless.

True, with the way the market is, the only verbal commits that have any still small importance are 2025 right now. Too much can happen in a year and a half. This reply isn't about Napier, would say the same thing if it was Spurreir/Meyer. Too much can happen on both sides of the transaction.

Latest I heard was that he’ll stay a ‘26 with Napier looking to still add a ‘25, possibly the kid out of Warner Robins.

QB will be very fluid for the ‘25 cycle. DJ has already scared off a lot of kids.

Can't believe all of you negative depressed people in here. Take a positive for us and all you can do is $hit all over it.
