A Sea Of Red

From Cave Spring high in roanoke. Same school as woodrum. Hes got interest and has visited several times. 247 called him the biggest sleeper at qb in recent camp. Duke and Florida looking hard. 6”4 225. Local one to keep an eye on with the pipeline.

What class is he in?

'19. Just watched his highlights on Hudl. Anything beyond 15 yards was floating and he hunder threw his WR on most of those passes. A superior level defense would eat that alive.

Within 15 yards, his mechanics and timing we're fantastic. Especially on slants. He is a big body but doesn't have nearly enough upper body muscle yet. Hopefully he can fill out his senior year. Ultimately I think he will be a lower 3* recruit. He has the raw talent and looks like he can thrive when surrounded by skilled playmakers.

The issues beyond 15 yards and driving the ball into the receiver can be worked on with a QB coach. He sounds like a bit of a project but worth watching in 2018

Absolutely. I was just trying to summarize what I saw.

The kid certainly impressed 247sports on the camp circuit this summer. They have written glowing reviews and given him three stars. But he still doesn't have any offers.

He is an 84 on 247 that’s really good. I’m surprised he doesn’t have offers.

Me personally it goes back to what I said before...he would probably be a project wherever he ends up. It's great that he has shown well at camp, but I would love to see how he does this fall. If he has worked out the mechanical kinks I commented on before, expect quite a few offers to come in by midseason

I would say he is probably worth a roster spot just to have for depth if nothing else. I agree that most are waiting to see how he cleans it up this season.

Has not gotten better this year.

Not an encouraging report Ri

Man - losing Buckshot will really hurt. He is a great QB and gives us a chance to win every game we play. He's going to be very hard to replace. I firmly believe we will be seeing him play on Sundays. My prediction - Falcons. He would fit perfect in that offense.

What are you talking about? We already have a 3* QB commit that adores the school and wants to get the best people around him.


Buckshot is not big enough to play with the big dogs. He will have to put on serious weight. Drew Brees is two inches shorter and has Buck by 30 lbs. Compared to some QBs of similar height, Aaron Rogers is 225#, Dak Prescott is 235#, and Andy Dalton is 220#. Buckshot is listed at 180#.

Mark it down... He'll add weight. He has the talent.

AGG will be playing on Sundays. Buckshot will not.

Jake Fromm? Same height, Has Buckshot by 40 pounds and is a year younger. Buckshot needed to be over 200 this year for me to believe he could transition to the NFL.

Buckshot has added weight, his listing just hasn’t been updated for whatever reason.

For what it is worth, Buckshot has more potential and more arm strength than our last NFL qb Mr. Josh Woodrum. I think Buck will be drafted anywhere from 3rd round to 5th round. This is all speculation of course as well as not knowing how he will continue to improve over the next 24 games.

I'll take that bet. I think both will be in the league and can be our best pros yet. Buckshot may not have the measureables...yet. But he has moxy and the "it" factor not to mention a very strong arm. I'm not saying he's going to be an all pro and maybe not even a starter but I bet you he ends up in the league and has a decent career as backup or 3rd string at worst for several years.

Yesterday didn’t make me feel confident in either one at the next level.

As for the topic at hand...
Knight is definitely going to be a project at the collegiate level even at 6'4" as i noted earlier

Headed to jmu.
