(My answer below assumed that

by "Next Year" you meant 2027, not "next football season" (2026). In 2026, I would put the Backup QB role at 75% Baker, 15% Grunk, 10% Huhn (as I'd certainly expect Huhn to redshirt BUT things are different in portal-world so maybe not)

I expect Huhn to be the backup next year. What do you think?
MKD • 02/05/26 10:27 AM ET
I think Baker would be the better option

Ten years ago, this question

Very good problems I have. It’s been a while since we’ve had that option. **

I dunno. I just hope we can see the competition unfold over the Spring.

Haven't seen Grunk yet

Hopefully not.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/05/26 12:24 PM ET
In theory you would have multiple years to use the redshirt
Seikoh_04 • 02/06/26 10:23 AM ET
In this era of FBS football, is it possible for a coach to structure the QB
VTHokie2000 • 02/05/26 01:43 PM ET
It's hard, but it's good to try.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/05/26 01:56 PM ET
You've changed my mind Chris. I agree with you. Redshirt**
MKD • 02/05/26 10:51 PM ET
Franklin has been great at retaining and starting HS QB recruits.
Lumbee09 • 02/05/26 02:09 PM ET
I believe there is a proposal to change the redshirt rules so players can
VTHokie2000 • 02/05/26 02:01 PM ET
Grunkmeyer’s HS film looked better than Huhn’s IMO. Just sayin’
marcbvtgm • 02/05/26 11:40 AM ET
Gonna disagree with your shade on Huhn. I'll be surprised if he's #2 only
goodbadugly • 02/05/26 12:38 PM ET
Point was Grunk wasn't ready to be #2 in Y1 - and he was more advanced IMO.
marcbvtgm • 02/05/26 03:54 PM ET
Have you seen Baker's film? He really doesn't run all that much.
TekkNerd • 02/05/26 11:08 AM ET
He runs some - and has some decent athleticism.**
marcbvtgm • 02/05/26 04:06 PM ET
He does, but...he ran about as much as Huhn did which is not much.
TekkNerd • 02/05/26 04:37 PM ET
@Chris Coleman do you know what was the biggest issue on why Baker
MKD • 02/05/26 12:19 PM ET
Because he was a true frosh and wasn't ready to be #1 or #2?**
marcbvtgm • 02/05/26 04:07 PM ET
Probably had an affair with Belichick’s girl friend……😁**
RJHokie • 02/05/26 12:25 PM ET
Darn it!! I moved in too late on that softball. **
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 02/05/26 12:29 PM ET
Nope. Haven't heard anything.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/05/26 12:23 PM ET
Do you expect him to be the #2 quarterback or possibly Huhn?**
MKD • 02/05/26 12:32 PM ET
I don't really expect anything right now.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/05/26 12:33 PM ET
I hope we can redshirt Huhn!**

Any QB could turn out to be a bust...
TekkNerd • 02/05/26 12:16 PM ET
huhn will start in 2 years
Windows NT • 02/05/26 12:33 PM ET
Huhn is a 4 star
