Ok, just wanted to create a central discussion topic for who y'all want or think we should pursue as our 2015 QB. I know there has been some concern about who we'll be taking that year as a QB. It's always an important position to recruit.

 

Anyway, we seem to have offers out to two QB's so far who we could be in contention for. Kevin Dillman is a recent transfer to Denton, TX after playing before at La Mirada in CA. Interesting backstory to the kid. He was actually a citizen of Sweden who only recently acquired his citizenship and came across the sea to play ball here in the U.S. Nonetheless, he's a 5 star prospect dual threat QB with great size and we are currently co-favorite with Michigan, who has not offered him yet.

We've also offered a dual threat from Florida named Lamar Jackson. He's got a handful of offers, his best being us and Clemson. I would worry about Clemson, as they're much closer to home and have been on fire the last few seasons. I bet he could easily see himself being the next Tahj Boyd, but we shall see. http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/69040-qb-lamar-jackson/

 

We've also thrown an offer to JW Ketchum, a dual-threat from TX, but he has offers from the major TX schools as well as LSU, and if I had to guess I'd say he probably stays down south somewhere. http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/68951-qb-jw-ketchum-iii/

 

No offer, but we've visited QB Alex Delton from Hays, KS multiple times already and he visited unofficially for the MSU game last year. There seems to be definitely interest there and kid runs an offense that is similar to ours. Not quite as much zone read, but runs a lot of option out of the veer. He's really talented with his legs. Got a lot of wiggle and his top gear seems to be improving. Very nice touch on the deep ball as well. http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/69103-qb-alex-delton/

 

Lastly, Fowler seems to be on to something about Joe Burrow. Kid is legacy and his dad coaches with Frank at Ohio. Has visited for spring practice last year and is garnering lots of interest. You can find Folwer's thread here: http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/69102-joe-burrow/

 

Who, out of those listed, do you want the most as our QB for next year? We will have to be quite choosy, as taking two this year will give us four at the start of spring practice. Now, Darlington's health is an unknown, and who knows if Bush sticks at QB. But, you'd have to think in a small 2015 class, that Beck and the coaches are going to want to find one guy-- their guy-- and call it good.

 

Admittedly, I've only watched Delton's film. But he's a stud and would be at the top of my list. Size is a concern, but he seems to be a tough kid, and really has good top end speed that could open up the zone read game. Dillman would probably be co-leader with him, as he's supposed to have a terrific arm. One kid who played against him described him as a "scarmbling Peyton Manning."

 

Those are my two leaders at the moment, although I'll probably take a look at Burrow's film.
