    That's the only way Sokol won his starting spot first game of the season.

    Surely you meant "on the field" -- as in practice field. I'm arguing that he'll already be the pseudo-starter "off the field" by inference of his transfer.

This tells me what they think of Higgins, and unfortunately young Wilson.
    Leave it to the Tech faithful to see this as a glass half empty situation. PW is a redshirt freshman. Higgins is not a good QB. This is a Sokol deal.

    No, they are saying he is gonna have to sell his teammates on his leadership first.

    Wilson will be a RS Freshman. Very few of those are ready to start (especially if they had injury issues their first year). Higgins is a big question mark. I would expect Driskel to start over both of them. Could be the best thing to happen to Price Wilson.

    Re: Florida QB Jeff Driskel to Tech?

    The article says he is a Junior. But how many years of eligibility left. If he were red shirted he could have two. Since he will have graduated will not have to sit out a year. The only other times we had this (Tyler Bennet and Cody Sokol) they both only had one year. But like techmman05 said I worry about Wilson and Higgins. It could hurt recruiting down the road. You try to sign a hot QB prospect and he sees you getting these transfers, will he want to come. Cody sure helped, but it's time we see if Peterson is as good a QB developer as promised.

    I 100% disagree. This staff isn't just going to GIVE anyone anything. But looking at the roster at QB for next year you have Higgins (no big expectations), Wilson (supposedly the future, but has never taken a snap in college), Woodall (hurt this year, probably ends up playing TE) and a true freshmen. I've always heard that they will probably be bringing in a transfer just for depth purposes. And if you can get a former #1 rated hs QB who has led his team to the sugar bowl then you take him! I would challenge anyone to find a transfer that would be better. And to not take a transfer is just plain dumb. Higgins is liable to transfer to FCS and then you're left with 3 was that have a combined 0 starts and combined 1 year on a collegiate scout team

    Yeah, I don't buy this rhetoric. If he can play and help his teammates succeed on the field with a team-first attitude, that'll be all the supposed "selling" he'll need to do.

    Will be watching to see if UF makes Driskel look bad or if he takes care of that himself.

    No kidding. I see this as a good thing for PW, he gets one more year to develop before having to take over. I would be disappointed if Holtz did not find significant playing time for PW during next season if this happens.

    I would not blame Higgins if he transferred.

    What I was writing was Sokol had to be interviewed, vetted, and given the password by Hunter Lee.

    I ain't talking about "giving", like it's charity. I'm talking about expectations. They'd be bringing an upperclassman transfer in in the belief (and expectation) that he would upgrade the QB position, not by way of 3 QBs is better than 2, but by way of 1 better QB is an upgrade over 2 average ones.

    And, as to better transfers -- Miller (OSU) and Golson (ND) to name a few.

    I personally think, from what I've heard, Wilson is the future now. How's that glass half empty?
