Georgia Tech only singed one QB recruit for the 2018 cycle, so I want to go a little more in-depth with this analysis than previous ones in this series. Option QBs are so hard to analyze coming out of high school. They need the athletic tools of a RB, along with the arm and defense-reading skills of a more traditional QB. So which 5 categories should an option QB rated against? It isn’t that simple. In order for an option QB to be properly rated, he must be rated as a runner and as a signal-caller.
As a reminder, here are the ratings for each category:
- 5: Power 5 Elite
- 4: Power 5 Above Average
- 3: Power 5 Average
- 2: G5
- 1: FCS
As a Runner
In order to rate QBs as runners, I’ll be using the same categories that were used for the RBs.
