2016 QB Depth Chart

Post by BigWave96744 »

Malik "Ikaika" Watson, who was born in Hawaii is leaving San Jose St after graduating this spring. Don't know what school he went to, but he still has relatives on island. Wonder if he will try to walkon. Nothing earth shattering about him but then who do you see as our #3 QB this fall?
San Jose State QB Malik Watson latest to take grad transfer route

The latest to take that tack is Malik Watson, who announced via Twitter that he has “decided that I will not be returning to San Jose State for my senior and will be seeking elsewhere to pursue my dream.” As Watson will graduate from SJSU this May, he will be eligible to play immediately in 2016 if he lands at another FBS school and enrolls in a grad program not offered at his former
...
A California high school product who was born in Hawaii, Watson transferred from the junior college ranks to SJSU in 2014.

I'm kind of tired of having QBs with only one year to play. He may be taking reps from someone who could use it to develop. I think we'll have five arms in the fall. Will that be enough or do we another one? either way definitely should not be put on scholarship.

I see this depth Chart for Fall 2016
- 1) Senior Ikaika Woolsey (we know what he can do)
- 2) RSFR Aaron Zwalen (could battle for the #1. note, hasn't played a game in 3 years out of HS, 2 years mission, 1 year redshirt)
- 3) Soph Beau Reilly (hasn't played a game in 4 years out of HS, 2 years mission, 1 year redshirt, 1 year no PT)
- 4) TrFr Cole McDonald (was originally suppose to greyshirt)
- 5) Soph Larry Tuileta, has to sit out due to transfer (hasn't played a game in 2 years out of HS, 1st year redshirt at USC, 2nd year no football, volleyball only )

it's scary when some thought a 5'10, 165 lb Mckenzie Milton could have battled to be the 2016 starter, if he signed.

Agree with you on this, should be a walk on. Scholarships should be used for the future or at least 2 years not one and gone.

Please read the OP, there is no mention of scholarship. It just a mention that if he would be interested in "walking on"

We have seen so many of our quarterbacks go down as the season dragged on. Ikaika seemed to be the most durable and also was the holder. I see him at least as number 2. He's been there so it shouldn't bother him. With our new coach Ikaika could be the starter. Depends on what Rolo is looking for. With our upcoming schedule he will probably want someone with game experience early on.
Not doubting, not hating, not loving, just hoping because I am a fan.

Totally agree with your assessment of current QB situation, I was hoping that Rolo would be able to get a 2 year JC guy in for immediate competition at least. But looks like we're hoping for some QB guru action with Woolsey and/or Reilly, or Zwahlen to be that good to beat em out.

Beau getting zero snaps, even after Naeole took over is not a good sign. Even when Ikaika tweaked his Achilles, Naeole didn't even bring in Beau for 1 snap, even though he was warming up on the sidelines

with concussion protocols being strictly enforced, having an experienced 2nd & 3rd stringer is key as the season progresses. Right now, all backups combined have ZERO, game experience after High School

I can understand both arguments. The transfer route has brought a ton of losing and inconsistency, but the QB depth is one of the worst in the MW right now. Reality is: there is no quick fix. It will take several years of recruiting and development for Rolo to get the QB position to where he wants it to be. Just hope Ikaika can handle the load in 2016, he is a heavy favorite based purely on experience.

don't forget that the JC route also brought us Colt, Moniz, Alexander, & Rolo that all played important roles during their time at UH
