Some QB thoughts…

With Sorsby announcing his intention, the schools attached with him the most are Texas Tech, Miami, LSU, Indiana and Tennessee. He is a Texas kid who started his career at Indiana so either of those options make sense. I personally don’t see Miami or LSU. Depending on what Josh Heupel wants to do at quarterback, I believe he makes a ton of sense if Tennessee wants to go get a starter. As we have said… His mother, father, sister, and brother-in-law, all live in Knoxville now so there is a natural tie to Tennessee in that regard. The question becomes… Where does Heupel think the quarterback position is on his current roster? Is he comfortable with George heading into next year? Does he think he’s ready? Where is he with Faizon?

I feel like there’s no real way we don’t get Sorsby if we really want him.

Dylan Raiola just popped onto the market. He has 2 years of eligibility, which isn't ideal for the Vols' situation.

Let’s call it like it is. Next season is a massive season for Heupel’s tenure here. Wouldn’t riding with George/Faizon be a huge risk?

His brother in law coaches HS ball down here. His parents just moved down here to be closer to his sister.

Assuming they add a portal QB do you think they keep both young QBs or try and free up some cash?

Do you have any feel what the going rate is for a top shelf QB like Sorsby?

If you had to guess do you think we’ll try and make a run at him?
