Tanner Rickle - "One of the BEst Football Players in The Entire Country" - Coach David J. Archer (Head Coach of COrnell Big Red)Tanner RIckle DOminated over the Summer
Most people do not have the courage to rank a relatively unknown QB number one in the nation in their first ever rankings, as College Football Today did Tanner Rickle. But, after following this young man since his sophomore season, I know 100% what Tanner Rickle brings to a football team. Hard work is often forgotten in today's recruiting, as football is more glitz and glamour than it is substance in some cases. Consistent play at the Quarterback position is extremely hard to find in the modernized "dual-threat" QB. Starting out in Tanner's sophomore season, he was an outstanding 83 out of 130 on pass attempts with 1387 yards, along with 13 touchdowns while only playing half of each game that season. Tanner's Jr season lived up to expectations as he delivered another brilliant display of athletics as a big time dual-threat quarterback. With now over 4,000 yards through the air and 1,726 yards on the ground, combined with 40 throwing and 22 rushing touchdowns. Rickle is one of the most polished and experienced class of 2019 quarterbacks in the nation, as he put on a show at every camp he attended this summer. Check out Rickle's Junior campaign below and than watch Rickle toss picture perfect passes in front of coaches like Jim Harbaugh.
Taulia Tagovailoa or Tanner Rickle?
I have no doubt in my mind that Tanner Rickle will be a better Quarterback than mostly all of the top quarterbacks listed on 247 sports. Only a few QB's I have seen this year like Spencer Rattler have as clean of a throwing motion while in the pocket and/or on the run. The exception with Rickle is that is he truly is one of the best athletes on the football field and his 45" powerball, 39' vertical and 4.6 speed has been verified at collegiate camps. He stands taller than Tagovailoa and simply is a better football player in most distinguished coaches' minds. Taking nothing away from the Alabama commit, as he is going to be a very good QB at the next level, but Rickle's diversity and body of work is extremely hard to find and is why he is ranked #1 overall by College Football Today, as a 2019 QB recruit. To be perfectly honest, Coach Saban could win with anyone at QB that was adequately capable to operating a well-oiled machine, as QB's at Alabama normally have some of the best players in the country at every position around them. QB's like Tanner Rickle will excel wherever given the opportunity and continue to prove me right and the naysayers wrong. Our process in evaluating athletes is a little more intense than most colleges and other well known website. After studying this young man for 3 years now, I know exactly what I am getting when Tanner Rickle takes the field and that is a leader and a fierce competitor. Findlay High School in Ohio is going to have a season that they will remember forever, as their team looked very good in 7 on 7 and in sync with our #1 rated QB.
Alabama COmmit must be better than Rickle?
