The Next Ryan Mallett

[Mitch C]

There is a kid in Albuquerque, NM who is a JR playing QB.  He is 6'7" and is a multi-sport athlete.  Maybe some of you guys in the know can tip off our recruiters to check him out.  Don't know his name but he goes to Eldorado HS in Albuquerque.

Evidently we know about him.  I met some dude from Univ of Florida that was watching him play BB.

[Adam Stokes]

If he can run a 4.68 he ain't no Ryan Mallett.

Looks like we found our MLB.....

Looks like BP recognizes some similarities between this kid and RM as well. Already offered by Louisville.

Boy can move too. Arm is not as strong as Mallett's (but who's is?), but he is much more mobile.

Is shows his favorites as Texas and OK State.

I'm sure he is a great QB but since we already have Storey on board I doubt we take another QB in 2015.

TE or LB maybe?

I like Peavey, but Storey looks to be on a different level when it comes to pure QB skills. Peavey's upside is what he brings with his feet. Having both on campus at the same time will give us two different styles, but both very high caliber. Great problem top have.

Only on Hogville do you get one of the top QB in the country to come here and be a  TE or LB.

[TrueBlue]

Now that would make him the next Ryan Mallett! Houston Dale thought Ryan was TE also...

They both have the potential to be very good.  The biggest thing for them is how quickly will they adjust.  The competition they play in HS is no where near SEC quality.

Yep.  Bot are physically gifted enough to be stars at the qb position.  What happens between the ears will determine if they will be or not.

Comparison, respectfully made:

Mr. Gentry, as a sophomore: 17 passing TDs, 9 rushing TDs, 6 INTs on a 7-6 ABQ Eldorado team that got blown out in the state semifinals after playing an all-NM schedule.

Bentonville's 6'5" Kasey Ford (class of 2016) as a sophomore, 23 passing TDs, 3 rushing TDs, 5 INTs (only 1 in his final 10 games) on an 11-2 Bennie team that won the state championship handily after playing (and coming close to beating) an ooc schedule that included Oklahoma and Texas quarterfinalists Broken Arrow and Euless Trinity.

Tenner not Texas.

More impressed with the kid from Bentonville when it comes to arm strength.

Young Mr. Gentry is a Rivals FOUR STAR, ranked #11 at the pro-style position for the high school class of 2015, and in his sophomore and junior years combined he's only thrown 3 more TDs (after a 9-passing-touchdown junior campaign on a 4-6 team) than Bentonville's Ford threw his sophomore season.

I'm VERY curious to see where Ford will be ranked as a pro-style QB in the class of 2016 if he builds off his sophomore season (more importantly, if Bennie does as well).

Team's records aren't always indicative of one's abilities. Truthfully, you probably need to go to camps/combines and be in the Elite 11 to be recognized as the top Pro-style QB. I'm not saying that's the only way, but it makes it easier for the heard that "decides" these type rankings make their choices.

Understood, Ricepig.  I'm guessing Barry Lunney, Sr. is likely doing his best to convince one particular QB to do precisely that.

LOL

[pillowhog]

I watched the HUDL video.  Only similarity to Mallett is height, way better athlete

So basically he's nothing like Ryan Mallett except he's tall.

Not sure, does he think he's black?

& he plays QB and Hooter Dale would move him to another position...

[pillowhog]

I doubt it since Nutt kept Jones at QB

[TheRazorbackGuy]

& he plays QB and Hooter Dale would move him to another position...

This kid is going Tennessee

[RedSoxFan]

Has he ever stated "Who wants to give Zach Gentry a scantron?"

[Vantage 8 dude]

TE or LB maybe?

Is that really you Hooter?

[HawgFan70]

Good looking prospect but I think we have our 2015 QB recruiting locked up.

nor is he a Tyler Wilson....I don't think Ryan is appreciated enough for what he did for the University of Arkansas football program....the years he was here there was the daily threads about how he threw the ball too hard, he threw too many picks, BLAH BLAH BLAH....right now I'd give our whole QB crew to have Ryan back for a couple of years...and I don't want to hear how he cost us the Sugar Bowl because of that pick...there never would have been a pick at the end of the game if the sacred cow that wore #45 would have caught the ball on 2nd and 7 at the 9 yard line giving us a new set of downs...not a discouraging word was said when #45 dropped a ball that hit him between the 4 and 5 on his jersey....Ryan Mallett is likely the most talented passer to ever wear a Razorback uniform....I take that back, he's not likely, he IS the greatest spinner of the football in Razorback history, and yes that includes Joe Ferguson

[rolyat_2008]

Mike Farrell @rivalsmike 
big one there for NM kid @Cassidy_Rob: Albuquerque (NM) El Dorado Four-star QB Zach Gentry has been offered by #Alabama. @AndrewJBone

as with nearly every bama offer that means he has an invite to one of their camps
