I’d say Becht to PSU is a near certainty. If it doesn’t happen, it will…
Be a humiliation for MC out of the gate so expect Grunkemeyer to be available. I’m also expecting Brand to hit the portal so 2 QBs is a certainty. The wild card is Huhn: is he ready to play at the next level? Probably not. Also, if he’s not, will he sit behind Grunk for 3 years? Unlikely in this era. Ideally, Franklin finds someone with 2 years left to play to win QB1 who hands it over to Huhn in year 3. Regardless, continuity into year 2 is critical as I see that, given the resources l and expectations, as the year VT reenters the national spy.

Ethan Grunkemeyer (“Grunk”) and his impending decision. What’s the ’tell?'

Indeed, he’s a hero at PSU today. Would’ve been easy to say he’s in for ‘26**

One year at a time, Grunk was ready, Huhn might be ready

I still believe VT is building for year 2 so continuity at QB will be key

If VT is 7-5 and at least competitive in losses that would be great

Brand doesn’t fit anymore. I’d say 90% chance he’s gone.

How do you get 2? Both would want to be QB1. But then, both could be cocky

I agree that we need 2, just wondering what the quality of #2 will be.
