If everything we’ve heard about Patterson is true, the quarterback position will be in good hands the next two-or three-years. BK Rec Quincy Patterson sticks it in during 6 OT victory over UNC (Photo: Scooter Waller, 247Sports) Six overtime periods. Overall, Willis deserves the opportunity to compete for the starting position. However, there were plenty of frustrating moments, too. Picking Patterson is kind of like picking Duke to win your NCAA Tournament bracket: Very. He showed he could lead a game-winning drive in the win at North Carolina and made some clutch throws in the win over Virginia. Spring ball is nearly here, for real this time. That’s why Fuente and offensive coordinator Brad Cornelson were reviewing film for possible late additions to the class of 2019-that’s why Kadum became a Hokie-the JUCO market and the transfer portal. While that sounds good, one injury can change everything. When Jackson transferred and Hooker entered the transfer portal, the Hokies were looking at just Willis, Patterson and a freshman not ready for playing time for the upcoming season. By recruiting the position heavily, you lessen the risk of being left in a precarious position if one or two passers go down. Not every prospect is going to work out and it’s the most important position in sports. In truth, every team should take a quarterback each year. There’s some belief that Warren’s best position may not be quarterback once he arrives on campus. Also, expect head coach Justin Fuente to continue to recruit and evaluate prospects for 2020. And, the Hokies should be in good shape in 2019 whether Burmeister becomes eligible or not. Not everyone is trying to get out of Blacksburg.

The Hokies also have a commitment for the class of 2020 from three-star passer, Tyler Warren, from Mechanicsville, Va. Willis’ eligibility will expire after this upcoming season meaning it could be Patterson, Hooker, Kadum and Burmeister competing for the job in 2020. For 2019, the Hokies have back Ryan Willis, Quincy Patterson, Hooker and true freshman, Knox Kadum. However, with the NCAA you can’t rule anything out. It’s worth nothing that Burmeister is not a graduate transfer and, as of now, is not expected to be eligible this year. Burmeister played behind Justin Herbert with the Ducks and started the first five games of his freshman season in 2017, a rarity for Oregon. Start Jumping!!! Welcome to the family #TeamFirst #Hokies /LF62N7dRgk- Hokies Football February 23, 2019īurmeister, from La Jolla, Calif., spent the last two years at Oregon where he played in 11 games, making five starts, completing 56 percent of his passes for 373 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions.
