"baby cam" did it as a true freshman, that's who i'd be going after even though he only has 1 year of eligibility remaining. it'll give us 1 year to "groom" an up and coming "young" qb who can carry the load for at least 3 more years. that's what my plan would be. but going into this season "status quo" at the qb position ain't gone cut it "UNLESS" fowler has a raynard type "rebirth". however, unlike raynard, fowler didn't show signs of becoming that guy last season whereas raynard did during the 2nd half of his redshirt sophomore season.. Well, I don't see that happening. However, I do believe Fowler does have arm talent that the other qbs that we have don't. But, will that translate to success on the field, I have no clue and if history is any teacher, I'd so no. Plus our receiving corp. isn't as good as it was. We may have all the talent in the world if they don't perform on Saturdays what good is it...? If I'm giving my opinion, I'd say a qb with an okay arm that can run and escape pressure would be the way to go. Fowler's limitations will not allow us to be an explosive offense that we are used to seeing.

They all did at some point - either at the beginning or by the middle of their first season.

Why is it we think true freshmen can't start? Other teams have done it. The issue is we've never been able to recruit a high enough talent to find out. Those freshman rarely come to A&T or any FCS for that matter. Washington said himself that Roberts was the 1st freshman to ever start for him at LB. Its just a huge gap in weight gain and physical maturity in year one.

Lewis Kindle also started his freshman year after the FAMU game.

monster, by now you already know that i don't get excited over "offers". i only get excited when we "sign" or get verbal commitments from promising recruits and i even simmer my excitement over verbals cuz they could always change their mind. nonetheless, i like this kid and he fits the kind of qb i'd be looking for. physically, on film, he looks great. he has good "footwork" and appears to be comfortable in the pocket. however, his football "iq" is just as important and i can't measure that from videos. but i will say this, he looks more promising "on film" than any qb currently on our roster, albeit he doesn't have the experience at the fcs level and i'd have to "assume" that he's playing against top notch competition in high school... Now that the 2nd QB I knew about has made it public. here you go. Dont know if this is in another post. i now see that brickhandler has indeed "committed" to a&t, so i'm gonna have to take a look at his videos. my understanding is that he's a "3 star" qb. hopefully he's talented enough to challenge for our starting position. i gotta take a look at his videos...

Well, Oleschool, I will play it like you do. I will wait till he shows up on campus and put a uniform on before I start setting expectations. Also, I have to see how his talent will translate to the next level. So, we shall see...

He looks legit but we won't know until live action comes.......

He comes from a perennial 6A power in the 757. They won a state title this year. Have played in like 7 of the last 8 stste championahip games. His team swept state awards with his QB getting OPOY, I believe DL got DPOY, and coach was COY.
The sling the ball around up there in Chesapeake.
I like it when the 757 comes to Greensboro.
On a side note they have a pretty decent entrance for HS football...

I think you and I will agree on this kid. His fundamentals are solid and his foot work. If he improves on his accuracy we going to be happy years down the road. He is well pass Folwer his freshmen year.
