This Pennywise lookin' dude.

I wasn't going to go through the whole thing, but just because you guys know I love QB talk (and, not to stroke my own ego but I've gotten it right a lot) I'd say that he's a serious project Quarterback.

HS highlights

I'll walk you through it:

Has the same awkward release as Bennett.
Footwork is some of the worst I've seen.
No touch on the ball, most of the passes are either bullets or floaters and hoping that his receiver can make a play on the ball, I saw one really good touch pass but not nearly enough.

Regarding the release, look at where the throw begins and where it ends in the highlights above, and then look at Bennett:

It's basically the same release that starts at the hip and goes about 3/4 instead of where it should be leaving his hand. (This also makes it easier for defenders to break on your throws, which is why Bennett started to turn it over a lot more.)

Just for future reference: Franks passed for more yards in high school when comparing senior years and had a higher average rushing the ball.

Anyway, to not go too far into the weeds:

He is a project, like a big project. Super athletic but we've seen what happened to D'Wan Mathis (the most athletic QB at Georgia). I just don't think Kirby has shown that they can develop a guy even after having them with years in the system.

Brock would be a goldmine at Florida, but he shouldn't be starting a game until he's a junior and considering their track record with QBs I doubt he makes it that far.

Frankly, UGA's QB situation is one of the most interesting in football right now.

They have Bennett, Mathis, Beck, Daniels, and Vandagriff signed for next year.

Daniels theoretically, if he has 4 good-great games, could grab NFL attention, although these would be games against watered down defenses like Miss State this last weekend. South Carolina for example will be playing UGA without their 2 best DBs, which UF had to go up against earlier in the season, and they're playing the Gamecocks after Muschamp was fired.

Mathis and Beck have to almost be for certain transfer candidates after this year. I don't see either one playing another down for UGA unless injuries crop up.

So if Daniels comes back, they have Bennett who is physically limited, and Vandagriff backing him up, who has never played a down of CFB. Which is basically the same situation they had coming this year, except Newman was their supposed starter.

The odd thing about UGA's team next year, is that their offense "should" be mostly free of question marks, aside from their OL situation, which could be very interesting because they lose Cleveland, and have young guys coming into the rotation similar to what UF had in 2019.

UGA will have a ton of questions on defense because they lose Jordan Davis, Eric Stokes, Richard LeCounte, Tyson Campbell, and Monty Rice. If you've watched their backups play for LeCounte, Davis, and Rice (who has played on/off the last few weeks), they are not impressive at all.

So essentially what UGA could be looking like next year is a version of what UF has looked like in 2019/2020 under Trask. Which would be very odd to see, because I see UGA struggling to run the ball, which hasn't been an issue for them under Kirby.
