I've seen Gleason live. His dad was my son's defensive coordinator. Gleason is a great QB and actually a better athlete than expected given his pocket QB recruiting designation. He's a HOSS too and looks like a linebacker. Built just like his dad who played football for MIT. I love Tucker Gleason because if he weren't playing football he'd still probably attend GT as a student.
Yeah I feel like he's only really confident in the 12+ yard passes with a very strong ability to find a receiver breaking away from the safety (Brown). His worst quality in my opinion is his lack of mental clock when in the pocket. There were more than a few times last year where JG stand in the pocket seemingly oblivious to a rusher coming at him basically unblocked. There are a lot of times he either threw with a defender's hands on him or just stood around and had the ball slapped out of his hands. I think we made some good improvements by the end of the year, but he still has a way to go. Hopefully, he's been able to see where he can improve and has fixed a lot of issues. If not, I hope we don't stick with him for longer than is needed to see he's not the guy. It's definitely a wide open QB competition for this year.
If he doesn't sniff any chance of playing he will declare his free agency.
True freshman rarely earn the starting job before their first game so I hope we see early rotation. Graham will need to show a lot of improvement to be the starter at the end of the year.
