Hasn't he been in college for like a decade? Not saying he isn't a top prospect, but he will be something like a 26 year old rookie, if age matters at all. I remember that being one of the hits against Pickett last year.

He's getting up there, would be 25, he's a senior +1.  5 months younger than Darnold haha.

He still has to play UGA as well.  The UT offense is that fast pace spread offense that their coach used at UCF and I'm not sure how well it will translate.  Hooker has a decent arm and decent speed, but nothing elite that will give him an advantage at the next level.  He has his age working against him, but I do think he is a very smart QB which can take you pretty far.  I just don't see him as more than a great backup and possibly decent starter.  Nothing that should have him drafted in the top 10, which is where will be drafting.  In the 2nd or 3rd then maybe, but you would have a QB that is pretty similar to Corral.  A college offense with decent speed and arm strength that got banged up a little last year running against college defenses.

Holy poo he’ll be that old? No wonder he is playing so well he is a grown ass man beating up on teenagers 

And that's my biggest concern with him as a prospect. Dude is someone who should had been in the NFL at least 2 years ago that is playing against 19-20 year olds. If we're trading back, give me Grayson Mccall or Tanner McKee.

After his performance beating Alabama this week it'll be a name often brought up as our next QB.

I know , I know he's not from Alabama or Ohio, schools people want their qbs to come from( not too sure why, most have sucked in the NFL)..

But after Saturday yall will realize what us UT fans have known since last year, Hooker is the real deal.

I see a lot of people here gushing over Young and Stroud and they look good, not gonna lie but they are both playing behind the top 2 lines in college football. Hooker is leading the Vols behind the 32nd best O-line. So he's doing a lot more with alot less. 

 

Bring this dude home and let's go get him in 2023.

 

fuging college football fans are the worst.

No kidding. My kids all graduated from there, and they got to see some decent Hokie football at least. Now…ugh. 

What are your thoughts on the new coach

Tough outing for him so far. Their QB and generally the entire offense is embarrassing to the ACC.

    • Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.  
    • I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.
    • Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
