potential portal QBs

Mushroomgod · 2026-10-21T21:02:46Z

OK, so the manning speculation got me going, and I took a look at players in the top 20 nationally in QB ratings who are listed as JRs or below. Mensah from Miami & Sayin are the highest rated. Manning is not rated in the top 50. Others are: 5. Marcus Stokes, 6'2" Memphis, Jr. 6. Braden Atkinson, 6'1", Oregon St. 7. Kamario Taylor, 6'4", Miss St. 12. Gio Lopez, 6'4", Wake 13. Tavian Jackson, 6'4". NT St. 15. Blake Baker, 6'5", Louis. Tech 16. Lincoln Kienholz, 6'2", UL 17. Michael Hawkins, 6'1", WV 18. Brad Jackson, 5'11", Tex. St. 19. Drew Mestemaker, 6'4", OK. St. 20. Ethan Grunkemeyer, 6'2", V. Tech Jackson is listed as a JR eligibility wise, but has been around for 5 seasons starting in '22. I assume he is not eligible for another? Assuming Taylor, Kienholz, Mestemaker, Grunkemeyer are not available, the ones who look interesting to me are --Stokes--67% completion rate, 18 TDs/6 ints, 15.2 YPC...has 200 rush yards --Atkinson--69%, 24/2, 13.8 YPC, 2604 pass yds. A gunslinger, but only 6'1" and not a runner. Listed as a Soph --Lopez--68%, 17/1, 13.9 YPC, 1947 yards. Only 6'0", but has 253 rush yards --Hawkins--58%, 10/1, 1519 yds passing, 749 yds rushing, 18.3 YPC, listed as a Soph. 6'1" If Taylor, Kienholz, Mestemaker, Grunkemeyer WERE available, I'd have it as I'd have it as 1. Taylor; 2. Mestemaker; 3. Kienholz, with Grunkemeyer mixed in with Stokes, Atkinson, Lopez, and Jackson (if eligible). But that's going solely on the Hs as I've only seen Taylor, Jackson, Kienholz, Mestemaker, Grunkemeyer. I'm leaving Arch out for now. Who have you guys seen, & liked?

I've been watching 'Suits', never watched it before.

The money in and soap opera of modern NIL football blows it away. LOL

And maybe we should develop a QB... Oh, and what are the odds Prock actually plays a game for us.
