We got our 2020 QB
- Thread starter BleedingPurple15
- Start date
Welcome Aidan. Your film looks great! NU has been on a steady rise over the past decade. Things are really coming together the last three years. You couldn't be entering the program at a better time.
Go Cats!!
Go Cats!!
What is the consensus? Will Atkinson be our backup to HJo and then most likely be our starter when HJo graduates or goes pro?? How does our stable of qbs seem to be measuring up the next several years??
He just finished a monster season and is ranked as the #9 QB prospect (TOS) in the country. A great get by NU.
WOW. Have we ever gotten a commit for a class so early (non-family like Bryce Gallagher)? I remember some December commits but not November.
This is awesome news. Aidan will have every opportunity to play early. As a redshirt freshman if Hunter leaves after two years, as a sophomore if he stays for all three. And it goes without saying that this is a huge boon for getting other recruits on board for the 2020 class.
WELCOME!

Let's let him play his senior year of High School and sign his commitment letter before we slot him on the depth chart. He certainly has the pedigree to be a good one here at NU.
If Hunter stays for three years, in 2022, the depth chart as we know it now will be:
RS Senior: Jason Whittaker
RS Sophomore: Aidan Atkinson
If Hunter stays for two years, in 2021, the depth chart as we know it now will be:
RS Senior: Andrew Marty
RS Junior: Jason Whittaker
RS Freshman: Aidan Atkinson
Will be a healthy competition for sure. But this is a huge commitment and will solidify our QB room for years to come.
That's a live arm and a pretty ball.
This said, I've never seen a QB highlight film where the QB didn't have 100% accuracy.

While true, stringing together almost 15 minutes of such clips is impressive.
Not just completions, but completions in stride whether its a deep ball or a crossing route or an out route. I had to go over 4 minutes into the clip to find an example where the WR had to slow down even a little to catch the ball. Really impressive stuff!
Way too early to speculate on this kind of stuff as others have said.
But realistically, our QB situation is "set" for the next 2-3 years: Hunter Johnson with Marty and Whittaker competing to be his backup (along with Green for his final year next year).
Everything else is going to be up in the air until we see how the Hunter Johnson era pans out...
With a season to play yet. Those frustrated with the overall level of NU recruiting take a rest.
Now let's get a top RB to play next to him.
Outstanding news! What a great start to the next year of recruiting. It is always great to start with a solid QB recruit. A big welcome to Aidan.
Like the chicken crossing the road? Wait, that is POULTRY in motion. My mistake
