| FTBL Ezell and Ogilvie

[CrimsonTideRulz]

Both of these lesser-known UA QB's are a mystery. Ezell is in I believe his second year, while Ogilvie is a first-year walk-on. Neither have seen action in a game, and Ezell hasn't even been in an A-day Game. Overall, how do you guys feel about these 2 QB's and the role they will play at UA? And how high on the depth chart do you see them rising in the next few years?

Probably not very high unless injuries take hold, but ask Brandon Avalos how fast one can go from scout teamer to starting QB because of a rash of injuries. Regardless, everyone of those guys has a role on the team (even the walk-ons who are down on the depth chart fill important roles each week as scout team QB's). With practices run the way they are these days, every school needs a minimum of 5 QB's on the roster, and most carry 6 or more.

Also, often times these guys walking on at bigger schools like Alabama can get good experience and have other options open up for them later in their college career. Google former Tide (and current UNA) walk-on QB AJ Milwee if you want a good example of that.

Hudspeth will take any UA/D1 transfer. :wink:

Hudspeth is not the most ethical coach I've come across, but I digress.

Played against AJ in high school. He's solid. Doing a fine job at Florence as well.

Ezell is a pretty solid QB as well. I went to HS with him so I got to see him plenty. Because our O-Line at Athens isn't that great he got to be pretty good at throwing on the run, and he isn't exactly slow either.
