Hey Utes whatever happened to that Portis kid? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I think it was Josh Portis who was the all everything HS player that committed to Utah but then switched to Florida to follow Urban. I watched Florida/LSU yesterday and Florida has a true freshman QB of the future who's already seeing the field. So what happened to the Portis kid? Is he just not as good as Tebow?

He xfered to Maryland after last year.

Transferred to Maryland and he is not nearly as good as Tebow. Tim Tebow is amazing and will win a Heisman before his career at Florida is over. Tebow will be the second best QB that Meyer will have (behind Alex Smith of course) and will get Meyer his first MNC. I think the guy is that good.

I think Tebow may surprise Alex eventually, Smith was a great QB but Tebow looks like he is special. Regardless Urban is in a great position.

Also i read on Marylands site that Portis broke the school record for 40 time by a qb, he ran like a 4.49 or something like that.

He was fantastic. He'll take what Alex had and make it better becuase he has the frame to be able to take a hit. He was running over LSU backers/DBs. A TRUE FRESHMAN QB WAS RUNNING OVER PEOPLE!

since I don't have mtn, i've been able to watch all Florida's games and he's going to be great.

He definitely has the physical skills to surpass Alex Smith in this offense. The advantage I'd give Alex is the mental ability to do so. I've heard (granted it was 2nd person) that Alex would watch film and point things out that the coaches had missed.

Tebow will be a great college QB, no doubt about it.

Tebow is a runner right now. Also, if they run him like that in the SEC for all the games then he is going to get hurt. I am not sold on him just yet, just like I am not sold on the Gators yet. I think this Saturday will tell us a lot.

I've been saying that every week. last week DID say a lot.

I would worry about Tebow as well, but seriously, he was running over backers during the LSU game.

He's a fine thrower as well. It was a fantastic game.
