Georgia flipped No. 2 overall quarterback Brock Vandagriff from Oklahoma earlier in the year, and keeping the talented prospect home is a massive victory only made bigger when you consider OU’s recent success developing the position. A Georgia native, Vandagriff is as talented a prospect as there is in this class and is expected to play early in Athens.
A Washington commit, Sam Huard has spent the last year creeping up the rankings. He achieved five-star status this week and has the look of a player that could help revive a Huskies program that fell well short of expectations a year ago. Huard is as consistent as any quarterback in this class and has looked like an elite passer every time we’ve seen him play in person.
Oklahoma was seemingly dealt a massive blow when Vandagriff backed off his pledge to the Sooners a few months back, but now it seems OU may easily recover from that situation. Lincoln Riley’s program is now the frontrunner to land a letter of intent from No. 1 overall quarterback Caleb Williams. Should that take place, the Vandagriff situation will seem like ancient history.
