If Simmons improves which is likely, opposing QBs are in for a world of hurt. The Archmania thread on the Football board may be a better resource (if you can stomach the Football board) but I can say Simmons is wired a little differently based on watching a recent Pivot podcast. Fred Taylor was talking about lining up against Colin and Ant Hill, and instead of being deferential to the old guy, Simmons seemed like he was ready to take him up on the concept, with the subtext being, “Ok, you’ll lose.” It was a bit uncomfortable 🤣.
April 22Apr 22 Simmons might be the best player on the team, and we also have a guy who will go round one pick one at the time of his choosing.

April 22Apr 22 Lagway has spent all spring recovering from a shoulder injury. He may be cooked by the time we play him. We will see.

How many great QBs are returning in CFB? It'll have to be an Arch type situation where you expect an inexperienced guy to take the leap and become great.

Per ESPN: Top QB returning: 15. Darian Mensah, Duke. 14. Sawyer Robertson, Baylor. 13. Luke Altmyer, Illinois. 12. Arch Manning, Texas. 11. Kevin Jennings, SMU. 10. DJ Lagway, Florida. 9. Haynes King, GT. 8. Nico Iamaleava, Tennessee. 7. Carson Beck, Miami. 6. Sam Leavitt, ASU. 5. LeNorris Sellers, SCAR. 4. John Mateer, 0U. 3. Garret Nussmeyer, LSU. 2. Drew Allar, PSU. Cade Klubnik, Clemson Mateer and Lagway only ones on schedule. Lot of Meh on this list.

If Simmons improves which is likely, opposing QBs are in for a world of hurt. They're pumping sunshine like all of us, but the consensus is that he's a worker. As it stands, PFF already graded him the best edge rusher in college football coming into the season. Should there be any normal trajectory of progression he's a top five pick in his draft class and probably the first non-QB or guy not named Archibald to come off the board. We need to enjoy the next couple years, he's a generational guy. No hyperbole.

I don't think it's been talked about by anyone but he got surgery recently. To keep up the charade he played 5-6 snaps in the spring game and every one was a hand off edit: looks like they're soft launching the surgery idea even though it's already happened: https://www.essentiallysports.com/ncaa-college-football-news-dj-lagways-injury-saga-takes-new-turn-as-potential-surgery-confirmed-adding-to-billy-napiers-florida-woes/ Edited April 22Apr 22 by Noozak adding context

Remind me how many returning starters tOSU has on offense? I think it's five? no QB, no RB, no TE Jeremiah Smith and technically their #3 WR Carnell Tate technically their LG who came back but didn't start most of the year technically their Center who started after their old guy got hurt and started in 23 their RG All this with Day taking over a bunch on offense and their OC being Hartline. We've seen Ryan Day do less with better QBs than they very very green Julian Sayin.

April 22Apr 22 I’ve only been paying a little attention this offseason but it sure seems we have helped ourselves quite a bit in the portal. Great synergy of coaches, staff, and boosters making things happen in smart ways.
April 22Apr 22 Kickass TE, 3DTs, a K and a WR with multiple years of eligibility... What is left on the shopping list?
April 22Apr 22 I’d feel better with a veteran return specialist, but I’m also greedy. This guy would do, but I haven’t heard any rumors he’s considering us or we’re considering him. https://kslsports.com/ncaa/byu-football/keelan-marion-transfer-portal/545890
April 22Apr 22 Sark is holding his nuts on these bitches. In my community, this is equivalent to swinging one’s dick. The more you know.
April 22Apr 22 I’d like the Houston corner Wilson. But maybe the young guys have impressed the staff enough they don’t need him. BYU guy is more of a kick returner. Hasn’t fielded a punt since 2021. If we go after a return man, we need a punt returner more than a kick returner. One who does both well would be ideal. I’d still like a running back. Seasons are up to 16 games now. Two of our six are coming off catastrophic injuries.
