Cox is transferring.

I don’t know a single thing about this Logan Bateman (except–judging from his name–he’s clearly from Utah).  But hell–if the unthinkable happens and we need to resort to our third-option at QB, I say we play him.  After all, he’s a QB on a P5 roster, right?  Give him a shot.  See what he can do.  Isn’t that one of the things that makes sports so great?

Besides–as was already mentioned–if the situation arises, then we’re probably screwed no matter what.

Drew Lisk – All State QB from Jordan has been in camp the entire time.  Good Athlete and proved in high school he could throw it.  Not a college dual threat guy though.  Adding the Bateman kid helps but they’re scout team type guys right now.  With Shelley coming in next year and with Williams/Huntley presumed back we get into the Senior/Sophomore rotation that is usually ideal.  Each guy starts for two years as his understudy learns for two years.  I’d imagine they’ll recruit another guy for insurance but I know they’re high on on Shelley after Huntley for the future.  I also know that Huntley easily outperformed Cox in camp and “it wasn’t close.”  Cox is an outstanding kid and a great representative of the U, just unfortunately not a PAC12 caliber QB.  Good luck to him.

I don’t blame him for leaving at all. And I don’t disagree that most other teams would be in serious trouble if the #1 QB goes down. My biggest concern is for the longevity of Huntley’s career if he does have to start and gets hurt. I fear that the likelihood of a career ending injury to him would be greater because he’s simply not big enough to play against P5 defenses. Josh Rosen (UCLA) was a true freshman last year, but he was 200+ lbs. Huntley, by comparison, is listed at 178 lbs.
