Archmanning sets up a table of college football recruitment status.
It’s both true when it comes to moving the needle positionally among quarterbacks and from the point of view of interest. But this off-season continues to reveal more about the depth behind the world’s most famous new hires in the sport’s most important positions.
Half of the Power Five programs are still looking for QB1 for their respective 2023 recruitment classes as spring football ends at high school level. Top uncommitted weapons reveal a powerful class at the top of the recruitment committee for a particular program, while other names are 2021 videos and head-turning successes at camp and combine circuits. Based on, the committee has begun to move up.
Avery Johnson has risen steadily since the end of the flashy junior season at Maze (Kang) High School. The 6-foot-2 talent threw over 2,500 yards, ran over 1,000 yards, and led the Eagles to 11 wins with a total of 42 touchdowns. Since then, he has tested his overall athletic performance with a spinning dunk shot and speedy test time on the Varsity Basketball Court. He ran a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at Elite 11 Nashville this month.
“I want to be a real quarterback, to be able to really spin it,” Johnson said. “I want to use my feet as needed. I don’t want to go to the program, but the exercise runs the ball in half the time.”
Johnson is one of the most athletic outlooks in the country, but it’s clear that he wants to use these tools as a complement to his pitching ability. It showed him punching his ticket to the Elite 11 Final set in late June in Los Angeles while he worked with some of the top passers in his class. Shortly before, a Kansas native added an offer from Oregon to his list, including Pitt, Virginia, and Washington.
Similar offers and accumulations of interest surround Brockgren, another uncommitted quarterback who won a ticket to the Elite 11 Final the same afternoon. A star at the University of Lausanne in Memphis, Tennessee, spent a lot of time as a sophomore, but advanced as a junior, completing 62% of passes and throwing 23 touchdowns in 10 games in the fall. rice field. With the tape out, he supplemented it with a great off-season sample and added offers from Auburn, Mississippi, TCU, Virginia and other schools.
Both Johnson and Glen are climbing recruitment committees nationwide, each discussing a program about the possibility of adding more offers day by day. In between the momentum, each is trying to navigate the hiring process in much the same way, relatively quickly, with a timeline of verbal commitments.
“QB dominoes are starting to fall, so I want to get my position here sooner or later,” Glenn said. “I would like to visit several times to see how I feel and what gives me. It felt. ”
In an ideal setting, each said Sports Illustrated They would have already been committed by the time the top passers in the Los Angeles class competed for the Elite 11 crown. In other words, two important factors apply to a pair. Official visits begin to form favorites in the offer, and new options can completely shake adoption. Both are scrutinizing those who have previously participated in the race and discussing with several programs that have not yet officially offered.

Johnson made an official visit to Oregon in mid-June, when new attack coordinator Kenny Dillingham established a relationship with a double threat dating back to Florida State University. Johnson plans to confirm a visit date between Washington and Virginia in the near future. Kansas is the most familiar and complementary state program he has ever had, and everything is said and you can even travel before it’s completed.
“K-State is very high on my board,” Johnson said.
Michigan, LSU, UCLA, and Miami are one of the programs that keep in touch with him, even though they haven’t offered a spot yet.
The next steps from each can completely shake the visit plan and potentially the timeline. Glenn of the hypothesis also recognizes it as his internal clock for the decision.
The Tennessees had just made their first official visit to the TCU with their families, and the new staff in the town made a strong impression. Currently, programs like Auburn and Mississippi aim to counter their own officials, the final face-to-face impression before oral commitments diminish. Texas A & M, which does not offer Glen, is also gaining interest.
“We have a really good relationship,” Glenn said of Texas A & M’s interests. “They liked me for a while. Darrell Dickey and my head coach have a very good relationship so I started there for them. Then Dickey shortly before I threw. Can be seen in and he loved it.
“Now they want me to visit, and I’m definitely going to do that. It’s great to know him, we talk once a week or so.”
In addition to a similar commitment timeline, both emerging passers-by were assigned in the fall if the coaching carousel turned around, as in 2021, or if a new program with a promise later entered the race. In a cycle I talked to SI about the possibility of saving one of two official visits.
“Or in an emergency,” Johnson said.
