‘27 UT QB Kamden Lopati (Illinois Verbal)

I like the idea of redshirt sophomore/Junior Jarrard much more than redshirt freshman/sophomore Jarrard

It wouldn’t surprise me if CJ stayed in school.
I’m expecting it.

I'm old enough to remember guys like Brendon Clark and Drew Pyne

not the foregone conclusion. Need to see how he progresses this year (believe it or not, he has some things to improve on!) and who enters 27 draft.

Two factors

Who is picking at the top of the 2027 draft. And how much NIL money are we giving him...

Interesting note on the II pod...CJ took a hometown discount this year to help the team

Have to think if we couldn’t retain J Love with NIL, why could we retain a top 10 QB pick. He’s probably come back for love of and/teammates not some no brainer NIL, IMO.

I would say more what other QBs are projected Top 15ish more than anything. If it’s actually a banner year for QB let’s say Arch, Moore, and 2 of Sellers/Sayin/Nico/Mensah/Leavitt then he could look to stay given a non guarantee of being QB1 - QB4.

If most of the above flop and it’s more than likely just Moore and Carr let’s say, then he’s probably gone.

From an NFL perspective, and second contract, vast difference between a running back with tread compared to QB with seasoning.
