Kentucky football has had some good quarterbacks in recent seasons, and are hoping to add to the list with Brock Vandagriff. The former Georgia Bulldog transferred to Lexington this year, and Mark Stoops and his staff hope he’s ready to be the next star passer for the Wildcats.
Pro Football Focus likes Vandgriff as well. Writer Mitch Kaiser recently made a list of players who were breakout candidates for 2024, and the Kentucky signal caller is on it. Here’s what PFF had to say:
The strong-armed 6-foot-3 quarterback dropped back to pass just 20 times last season but averaged 9.2 yards per pass attempt to earn an 87.0 PFF grade. He threw just 18 passes but recorded two big-time throws and zero turnover-worthy plays.
Vandagriff was a four-star prospect out of high school, and was ranked 34th overall by 247sports. With Carson Beck’s ascension, he decided to head elsewhere, and landed with the Wildcats.
The 2024 season is a few months away, and nobody can be sure how Vandagriff will perform. He’s clearly talented, though, and if PFF is correct, he could be better than people expect.
