I could’ve sworn he had an Ivy League offer. Beating Stanford is way impressive than beating Harvard for a football player.

Most of them have already signed with P5 schools

He has 11 offers with 5-6 very impressive.

Offers from the following with emphasis on the underlined and bolden:

Boston College
Harvard
Louisiana Tech
S. Miss
ULL
Dartmouth
Tulsa
Cincinnati
UTSA
Missouri
W. Kentucky

This young athlete is obviously very cerebral and watching his highlights is really good. I like that he waited and used his head to decide on the choice. I also doubt ULL was ever in the hunt in his mind or his folks. I think he's a huge grab for the staff and Tech football.

Gray shirt next year, I see.

So this means he cannot play next year, right? Looks like a great prospect.

When will the remaining 2020 recruits be named?

Right. And, I agree about being a nice looking prospect.

This might be one of our best signees in a long time.

Holstein is one of the best that I've ever seen in person. Two summers ago, we went down to STM for a 7-on-7 tournament. I got to stand on the field just a few yards away from Holstein as he was carving up our defense. He spins the ball better than anybody I've witnessed live at the high school level. He has a quick, easy release and tremendous accuracy. And the best part is that what I saw in 7-on-7 was backed up by production in pads on Friday nights. This kid is one of the best QBs in Louisiana over the past two decades and was talented enough to keep his job despite immense pressure from a talented backup QB who committed to LSU as a sophomore.

The one thing that doesn't make sense to me is the fact that Holstein was willing to grayshirt and that we asked him to do so. I figured he would have plenty of options to get into school immediately and start competing. Reading the tea leaves, I would assume this means that Luke Anthony has the inside track to win the starting job for next season and that Aaron Allen and Holstein will battle for the starting job in 2021.

My guess is we knew we were getting the ACU transfer and already signed JD Head. We already have 4 QBs on the roster.

3	Aaron Allen	QB	6-1	193	R-So.	1L	Missouri City, Texas / Ridge Point HS
5	Logan McFadden	QB	6-3	190	R-Fr.	RS	Rock Hill, S.C. / Rock Hill High School
10	Westin Elliott	QB	6-5	221	R-Sr.	2L	Shallowater, Texas / Midland Christian HS	Blinn College
18	Jakson Thomson	QB	6-3	201	R-Fr.	RS	Dallas, Texas / Lake Highlands HS

When talking about our QB situation in yesterday's press conference, Skip didn't say squat about Jakson Thomson. Made me wonder if he was even with the team any more. All of the talk for the starting QB for 2020 was about Allen, Anthony, Elliot, and the freshman we signed in December, JD Head.

So, basically, we have about 9 QB’s. So we still don’t have one.
