QB Prentiss "Air" Noland (transfer to South Carolina)

Find it interesting that Keinholz is keeping silent. So far, it's played out as I (quietly) forcast. Maybe another year under Day's tutelage, and hopefully some live action snaps, and he'd be serviceable. Doesn't appear like anyone on this board is surprised, believe everyone expected this, but as always, it's all about timing. Wish these kids the best, there was so very much potential in the QB room. Go Bucks!

Dakota might get some "package" reps if he sticks it out as the#2. I hope he does

Really surprised he logged not a single snap with the Buckeyes. Do understand that there was a starter that was new to the program, and three newbies (Kleinholtz in that category), and a 3rd year guy that had some snaps but didn't show out well in prime time. Would have thought they'd split up the 1's, 2's, & 3's (OL and WRs) and put the QBs in with them, simply running pass plays just to get reps. Well, whatever they didn't work. Other than Will, none of the QBs were impressive against live fire. Devin, Julian, and Lincoln all logged snaps, but not Air. Not to worry, I wonder about these things, and the why behind them. Oh well, moot point now. Do wish the young man luck, as he never even got a chance here.

NEW BEGINNINGS. In December, five-star freshman quarterback Air Noland transferred from Ohio State to South Carolina. The decision surprised me, considering Noland's Georgia ties – I bet someone United States dollars he would transfer to Georgia Tech – and the fact that LaNorris Sellers had an award-winning redshirt freshman season with the Gamecocks.

However, amid Noland's first interview in Columbia, the former Ohio State signal-caller said South Carolina was the perfect fit for him.

"The people here, South Carolina was a great decision as far as the people," Noland said, per Alex Jones of The Big Spur. "Great conditioning program, coach (Mike) Shula. Also, the quarterback room with Dante (Reno), LaNorris, Cutter (Woods) and Luke (Doty) is even in there helping us each and every day. The all-around journey helped me make a decision to go to South Carolina."

Noland then expressed thankfulness toward Ryan Day and Chip Kelly for the opportunities both coaches offered him in Columbus.

“I learned a lot,” Noland said. “I learned the playbook can extend very far as long as you can take on everything that they are giving you. I learned a lot from Chip Kelly. He’s a great coach and I feel like he taught me a lot of knowledge that I needed. Just the people around pushed me every day.”

Now in a battle to backup Sellers at South Carolina, Noland believes the competition will bring out the best in him.

"It pushes you each and every day," Noland said. "It doesn't let you be lackadaisical. It makes you be a better quarterback. Competition brings out the best of you. With a quarterback like LaNorris Sellers, he's a guy that I can push and hopefully just compete with and have fun."
