For comparison, 24/7 has Lindsey as QB 51. Philo as QB 65.

Check out the TD-Int ratio...

Threw for 3,620 yards with a 37-3 TD-INT ratio as a junior, completing 67 percent of attempts. Earned Arkansas 7A all-state recognition.

Timing on this is great as SEC schools have been sniffing around and it was a matter of time before more P5 offers came in. Also, his grandfather played for the Vikings back in the day.

Does this mean Grunkemeyer is going to Penn State?

Penn State has a bunch of QB offers out, so I'm not sure that's a certainty.

I can't imagine we would take 2 qbs so we must be done with Grunk. Maybe we just didn't want to wait for his answer.

That is one large HS Junior QB!

 

[Willwin40]

I like that he’s tall. It’s much easier to look over the field for an open receiver.

 

[fmlizard]

Big arm on his tape, throws a nice deep ball. He's a pass-first QB for sure. Leads an Air Raid style offense and didn't look to run.

You can tell how Fleck wants the offense to develop based on QB recruiting and this, among other things, tells me he wants the team to head in a more pass-first direction.

Worth noting the good bloodlines too...

"Drake is the grandson of Arkansas legend Jim Lindsey, who after his football career with Razorbacks, spent six years with the Minnesota Vikings." Per 247. Also makes you hope Arkansas doesn't make a late push if they miss on their QB targets...

Let's just hope his uncle doesn't start posting here.

Arkansas already has their QB target for 2024 on board

 

[60's Guy]

Drake pays attention and is willing to share his personality. Think Angel Reese vs Caitlin Clark... "I'mHome!!!"

 

[studentgopher94]

For now, true. But I'm always going to hold my breath with commits, decommits, etc...

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

I wish I had found this first! Well played!!!

 

[BleedGopher]

Fayetteville, Arkansas is Gopher Country.

Go Gophers!!

 

[Willwin40]

I have a gut feeling Lindsey will be better then Philo or Grunk.

 

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

 

[BleedGopher]

As expected, Houston Nutt chimes in:


Go Gophers!!

When I saw in the recruiting news that the Gophers had offered Lindsey, the story said he was the grandson of former Viking Jim Lindsey. Out of curiosity, I looked up Jim on the internet and according to his Wikipedia page, he's made about ten tons of money in the real estate business owning 37,000 apartment units and 42 golf courses. He got his start by investing the signing bonus he received from the Vikings in real estate.

There's even a documentary out there about his life: The Jim Lindsey Story

Looks like Philo's "uncle" is still lurking in the shadows laughing at posts.

That's probably more pathetic than him just being a troll to begin with.

Why is this expected? Does he have a connection to Nutt?

Nut that I know of.

 

[Halsey Hall]

Is the Jay Wilkinson mentioned Bud's son (who played at Norman High and then Duke)?

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Why is this expected? Does he have a connection to Nutt?

I'd guess it's just the Arkansas thing. Nutt is still really close to athletics in Arkansas but I'm not sure if there is more.
