Kid been around started his career at Texas A&M then went to Auburn and finally the last 2 years in FCS at Incarnate Ward.
Zach Calzada QB visiting today
- Thread starter TOMCATS1990
- Start date
From GA, 6'4" 200, completed 68% of his passes for 3700 yds, 35 TDs, 9 INTs. Decent enough runner. Mendoza's still my guy but this player would be more than adequate. Impressive who UK's been able to bring in for QB visits.
Think I'd rather have him than the Duke QB. Only because this guy is a bit of a runner and unless Stoops pulls the biggest rabbit ever out of his hat, we're going to need a running QB.
you mean the qb needs to be able to run like a rabbit
They don’t need to be great runners. They need pocket presence and the ability to scramble when our blocking falls apart.
There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. I honestly had no idea he was still playing and had remaining eligibility at this point. He was kind of serviceable at A&M 3 years ago, but outside of that memorable performance against Alabama, wasn’t amazing either, completing 56% of his passes and throwing 9 interceptions. Hard to say how much if any he might have improved when his only playing time since then has been in FCS.
UH, maybe playing against FBS level competition ??? That would make solid D1 QB's look good, drop down a level, play against smaller, slower, not as athletic defenses.
Looks good he can move inside pocket - occasionally run - I like that he’s taken a lot of snaps
Him & Cutter would be fine
Games are won upfront anyway we got to get much better on both sides of the ball on the line of scrimmage

Yeah, the me-first attitude isn't going to succeed here. Hope he plans on buying his offensive linemen cars or otherwise very nice gifts.
I would consider this a solid pick up for UK, and sets Boley up well for his RS So year.
I want a QB that can scramble 5-6 yards for a first down. Pocket passers that are statues are becoming a dinosaur in college football.

Yeah not sure but he’s played a lot since his struggles. And had success. So maybe he’s taken that leap in his development. Gives cutter or stone a year to get ready
Exactly, it buys a year for either Boley or Saunders to seize the starter role. If neither develop how the staff likes, or the staff gets let go after next season, then the program will just head right back to the portal.
