This is the type of guy that RU could target as a bridge QB for 2024.
The leading passer in FCS coming to a program that passes ineffectively?
I saw on twitter Minnesota offered him. Considering the similarities in mindset on offense wouldn’t be surprised if we did too. Whether he comes to either school is another story.
New Hampshire’s OC has strong ties to Maine and the University of Maine. We have a University of Maine connection or two on our staff.
Here’s another transfer entrant:
Like Cade McNamara going to Iowa. After Iowa scored less than 20 points, in seven 2022 regular season games.

The Downingtown, Pennsylvania, native started the final seven games of his true freshman season in 2020, had three starts in 2021 and then five last season. Howard had uneven results for stretches this season, and freshman Avery Johnson emerged as a viable option alongside him, adding six rushing touchdowns and three passing touchdowns for the Wildcats (8-4). Johnson would be in line to start for Kansas State in 2024.
ESPN rated Howard as a three-star recruit in the 2020 class.
Come on home- he has been coached well:
Will Howard, 2020 QB, Downington (Pa.) West
Rutgers was first to offer the 6-4, 205-pound three-star quarterback last June. He now has five offers, including Minnesota and Bowling Green.
"It was great. I got to see more of the facilities and learn a lot more about the school and the academic side of things which was really nice. I spent time with Coach McNulty, Coach Erb, and I also got to talk to Coach Ash for a while which was nice. I had a teammate there, Jackson Luneburg, a receiver of mine, so I got to hang out with him.
"Coach Ash wanted me to come back for a spring practice to really see how they coach and to see the vibe of the team. Rutgers is definitely up there for me, they were the first to offer and they’ve been very consistent in recruiting me. I got to learn a lot more today, which was nice."
was pondering more than 20 offers when he decided to commit to play for Kansas State and first-year coach Chris Kleiman, who won four NCAA Division I FCS titles in five seasons at North Dakota State.
Kleiman’s most famous player at North Dakota State was Wentz, who also happens to be Howard’s favorite player
Sluka is not a good passer. He looks at 1 receive and if not open he takes off to run. He is a run first QB. He may be a bit better runner than GW but passing wise they are probably about the same.
I don't think people realize just how little we passed it this year and how that'll look to potential transfers.
Wimsatt had 274 attempts in 12 games.
Based on the link above - this Max kid had 455 attempts this year.
Last year he had 420 attempts.
He'd be signing up to pass is nearly 40% less often.
Notre Dame transfer quarterback Tyler Buchnercommitted on Thursday to Alabama
was suppose to be starter for Alabama but will sit on the bench for the rest of career if he doesn’t transfer. Milroe, RS sophomore, is the starter For Alabama this year.

The Duke QB Riley expected to transfer to ND to become their starter. Steve from NJ and will be the back up for the rest of his career
He has good numbers

On the other hand, with a passing QB, RU could revector its approach and increase the # of pass plays.
The QB coach (Drew Belcher) at UNH played for Harasymiak at Maine as well...
easy sell too
'look, we need to throw the ball and we think you could be the kid to do it here at Rutgers, BIG10'
Is the current braintrust aware that they can do this?
The current brain trust use to pass more when he was here last time so it really depends on the equipment or QB he has available.
Looking at his stats - I agree with you. Looks like a guy who started to figure it out 2nd half of the year.
Haven't seen him play, but the Minnesota QB is entering the transfer portal and he has a prior relationship with Ciarocca. Could be realistic target.
Gophers QB Athan Kaliakmanis will enter transfer portal

He’s a possibility, there seem to be quite a few good possibilities.
I’m not sure if we are pursuing anyone but that would be a mistake. Wisconsin took 3 QB from the last portal as well as having their QB recruits, let the competition begin.
I'm starting to the idea of going after Brendan Sorsby honestly.
He started the final six games of the season as a RS FR, with his first start being against RU.
Brendan Sorsby last 5 games (@PSU, WIS, @ILL, MSU, @PUR)…
90/148 (60.8%) for 1,167 yards, 12 TDs and 5 INTs with an adjusted completion percentage of 71.3%
An additional 156 rushing yards and 3 rushing TDs on the ground, with 3 games of 50+ yards rushing.

It’s a shame Rutgers will never be interested in this proven QB with a legit DNA in him with two years of eligibility.
There is no harm in trying to land the best QB in the portal and let the chips fall where they may next Spring!
