UCF quarterback Dylan Rizk intends to enter transfer portal

Browns legs might still be a threat to land him the role. Please if his arm gets remotely better he would be a serious threat on the field
 
Tayven may be inexperienced but he's been pressure-tested. Last season he stepped up for Indiana and started at QB -- and won -- a critical game in the Hoosiers' run to the playoffs. As I recall, he was a 4-star out of HS so the kid clearly has the skills.
We still have the last few days of the portal and fall practice. He does appear to be QB1 right now....but Scott's leaving it open officially (and he should) until we get well into preseason. Tayven's got to continue to show consistency to secure the job.

“Pressure tested” “won a critical game” you are DRUNK at best. At BEST.

Are you telling us there was no pressure on back-up QB, Jackson, when an injury to the Hoosiers' star QB required him to take over in his absence? Really??!?

Question: If Jackson had lost the Washington game, would Indiana have made the playoffs? Isn't that the very definition of a critical game?
 
So was Joey Gatewood....how did that turn out....LOL
There are a lot of 4-star busts. It just means the experts believe the kid's odds of success are better. Scouts can measure a lot of important things (size, weight, speed, arm strength, etc.), but they can't measure a kid's heart.

FWIW, I'd rather have a young quarterback mentored by Milton and Scott than Hinshaw and Gus.

But he won a game and helped propel Indiana to the playoffs.

The 77-3 win over Western Illinois was big too.

I think they upgraded at both the offensive coordinator, HC and quarterback coach position. That being said, Gus was both the head coach, offensive coordinator, and quarterback coach. Gus thought of alot more from himself than others did. HS coach !!
 
Jacurri was excellent many times around the opponents 20 yard line. He had some bursting speed and moves to gain 5, 10, or 15 yards. That was one thing gus did that was pretty good I have to admit (it worked)
I am never in favor of a QB who can only run and not pass. Wasn't that one of Gus the Bust's offensive genius plays? Doesn't take a defensive genius very long to know it's going to be a run because your QB can't pass. May as well be a triple option team. Not a fan.

Good point. Jacurri could make some passes. Maybe he has improved. I mean it was obvious what gus was going to run when Jacurri was in. But several times it worked.

Gus mentoring a qb would be like Diddy mentoring an altar boy
 
You UcF fans need to get something through your thick heads: when a QB sucks, he sucks and there’s not a person in this Earth that can make him not suck. Your QB room…sucks. Simple as that, there’s no fixing it by anyone.
 
I liked Davi when he was at Cardinal Newman. He was on the older side which could help him if he stays in college 5 or 6 years.

On the surface doesn't look like much to be excited about (short at 5' 10 or 11"), 50th QB in his class, an 82 transfer ranking, but his offer list was rediculous, 23 P4 offers including Alabama, Georgia, Florida, a school up North with a crappy OC, Michigan, Mich St, Oregon, Tenn, Miss, Penn St, and Texas A&M.

With 4 years of eligibility left, fits the mold of what I called out in another thread what we are looking for.

And his Dad can beat up every other recruit's Dad....

Frost tried to recruit Jackson to Nebraska so he has known about him awhile.

Teams had to watch Harvey AND Brown...hence why either got freed up for key runs inside the 15 yd line....as Brown had 4 rushing TDs and averaged over 7.5 yds a carry last year.

In that heartbreak 38-35 loss at #9 Iowa State, Brown rushed for 153 yds and 2 TDs.

Yes, Brown struggled much in the passing game but if he can improve in that area, he coukd be a major 2 way threat.
