Winning our bowl prior to signing day had to help.

QB Zevi Eckhaus has put up spectacular numbers against FCS competition. 253-for-416 for 3,228 yards and 26 TDs, with 15 INTs and 23 sacks. Most of those INTs were in his 2nd year (2022). In 2023, he only threw 7. His first year, in 2021, he only threw 3. (Not sure if there were any coaching changes to account for that spread.)

He's definitely a throw-first QB, with 221 rushes for 760 yards over three seasons (6.7 rushes and 23 yards per game). Again, this could be due to the offense he ran at Bryant. Of course, his high school stats are similar (10,210 career passing yards and 137 TDs for his prep career; no mention of his rushes at all, so he probably didn't do it a lot).

He's definitely someone experienced we can turn to when we need to air it out. Not sure if he's "the answer" at QB, but glad to have him on board.

Interesting trivia: Cincinnati transfer Cam Jones -- all 6-8, 330 lbs of him -- was a highly rated QB in high school. We could always go Jared Lorenzen with him...

Technically, we have two QBs in this signing class so far.

In addition to Bryant transfer Eckhaus, ATH AJ Watkins was the QB at Norcross, where he threw for 1,114 yards and 17 TDs, rushed for 1,103 yards and 9 TDs, and even had 370 yards and 3 TDs as a receiver.

CRR says Watkins will get a look at QB:

“He’s going to get a look at quarterback first and get a chance to learn the system quickly from that,” Rodriguez said. “And then probably could help us in other areas. … Really athletic, probably overlooked in a lot of ways because of the same, people weren’t sure what position, but he can really run, and he’s an outstanding athlete.”

As for Eckhaus, he was brought in specifically because with Zion gone, we need an “old man” in the QB room. But CRR described him as having “Unbelievable accuracy and timing.”

If he can run the Hot Rod offense effectively, he could be more than just the old man. He could be The Man.

Can we bring on the Cincinnati strength and conditioning coach also?

I don't bother listing 2-star ratings. For most recruiting services, it's the bare minimum they'll assign to a player who's received a D-I offer (FBS or FCS) if they haven't actually bothered to watch that player.
