Virginia seems to produce a lot of quality dual-threat QB's.

A VT lean? Insurance for Terrelle? Looks like a great athlete, how are his QB skills? Thanks for the help.

Well, IMO, you should bring in a QB every class. If Terrelle comes to Ohio State, well I just do not see him holding onto his red-shirt, coupled with an early NFL draft entry as well. If Newsome were to come to Ohio State, and what I said does indeed happen re: Pryor, then Kevin would have plenty to time to command our offense.

3.7 GPA .........excellent

 

[GrizzlyBuck]

It'd be nice to get a foot in the door in Va. as they seem to always produce some very nice talent, specially at the skill positions. Looks like another JT type recruit, versatile, good student and citizen.

Looking at the few photos, he seems to be a solidly built kid.

So who is better between this kid and Devontae Payne? And who has the better upside?

They're not really comparable. Newsome is a very athletic run-pass QB, while Payne is a pocket passer. Newsome has 18 offers, including UM... Payne has 1, BG.

Oh ok, I thought Payne had more offers and a litte more interest. So Newsome is more of a spread offense QB(a potential fit for RichRod), and is there a reason there hasn't been an offer to Payne? Is he still raw on the field?

You may want to ask that here, instead:
