Hunter Herring Commits to The Ragin Cajuns!

Big difference. Baseball 50+ games. Track 2 meets that count, along with training that is similar to what a footballer would be doing off-season anyway.

Kyler Murray did both pretty well..

I'm just excited to get a big pro style QB with the size of the OL we have recruited really hopefully we move to a pro set

Funny that you named Kyler Murray and then said you wanted a big pro-style QB.

I realize one statement had nothing to do with the other, but its just something that caught my attention. I tend to prefer a guy that runs well along with being a good passer. Herring looks like he can do both with over 1,000 yards and 25 TDs rushing last season.

Coach Napier seems to being doing a really good job recruiting QBs. Hopefully what these guys have done in HS translates to college

This guy is the real deal! He will be our starting QB one day. Great pickup.

I get what you are saying most Qbs now days can do a bit of everthing and we don't need a guy with concrete shoes back there. But if you look at the past few P5 wins for the belt they all have 1 thing in common a big pro-style QB .. Brandon Silvers, Pete Thomas, Dan Ellington, Zac Thomas (shorter side but still a drop back passer)

I think Thomas clearly has no concrete in his cleated shoes

Well that’s interesting. Now he’s going to have great options. Don’t know how Billy feels about double sports. Archie Manning All American in football and SEC gold glove player, and drafted by MLB.

AM is my favorite athlete of all time, however, both college baseball and football are light years different from the Archie's playing days.

Kyler Murray is a much more apt comparison recently.

Anyone know if Herring is a pitcher? My recollection is the vast majority of two way players in college were non-pitchers. The only one I can recall is Jameis Winston.

My specific worry is wear and tear on the throwing shoulder/arm of a QB and starting pitcher in college.

18 TDs in three rounds of playoffs?

I trust coach Napier to do whatever is best for his players now and their future. He’s a real solid man who happens to be a great football coach.

Nice pickup, I like that he says he was working hard for the UL offer. He really wants to be here. He has great size, he will get many more offers, you can count on it.
Napier is doing a good job on the QB’s we are getting. I think when Coley from the San Antonio area committed to Arkansas, that opened up room for Hunter.

Agree, I trust both Coach Napier and Coach Deggs. Outside of Winston, are there any examples of college QB's, that also pitched in college?
