Florida State freshman Brock Glenn could start the ACC title game

The Florida State Seminoles could have to go with a true freshman quarterback in the ACC title game.

The Florida State Seminoles are set to take on the Louisville Cardinals in the ACC title game in Charlotte.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, the starting quarterback was Jordan Travis. Due to an injury suffered against North Alabama, Tate Rodemaker would have to take over the starting role heading into the annual rivalry matchup against Florida.

Rodemaker would have to leave the game due to a hit by a pair of Gators defenders. He would only miss 55 seconds of the game before he would return to lead the Seminoles to victory over Florida, 24-15. He finished the game with 134 yards passing while completing 12 of 25 pass attempts.

Recent reports indicate that Rodemaker is a game-time decision with a head injury. If he is unable to go, true freshman Brock Glenn will make his first start in the conference championship.

Glenn was a four-star quarterback prospect that was originally committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes before flipping to Florida State. This season he has seen very little live-game action.

Glenn has thrown four passes and one rushing touchdown on four attempts. His first start could come against the No. 1 red zone scoring defense in the ACC.

Scouts view: Newest Ohio State verbal, 2023 quarterback Lincoln Kienholz

The Bucks found their 2023 QB #GoBucks

The Buckeyes found their 2023 answer at quarterback on Wednesday when former [autotag]Washington[/autotag] commit [autotag]Lincoln Kienholz[/autotag] made his flip to [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] official.

After the decommitment of [autotag]Brock Glenn[/autotag], [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] went into scramble mode to fill the open spot in the class, and the effort has paid off.

As a former scout for Prep RedZone, and having identified major college players as early as their eighth grade year, I love to give my input on what my scout’s eyes see from a newly committed Ohio State prospect. Here is what I saw when watching Kienholz’s Hudl tape.

Before getting into Kienholz’s performance on the field, knowing he is a three-sport star (baseball, basketball) made me very excited to break down his film. With great size at 6 feet, 3 inches and 195 pounds, he has the frame to add more than a few pounds when he arrives in Columbus and gets integrated into the weight room and training table.

Clearly, a great athlete, Kienholz’s arm is above average. It is not quite elite, but it’s pretty darn good. He shows very impressive touch on deep and intermediate throws, while his accuracy shines on his shorter attempts. Kienholz’s athleticism shows when the play breaks down, and he has to move out of the pocket. He is a very solid runner who can move the chains when needed. The footwork is impressive, squaring his shoulders to make throws on the move.

Kienholz is a winner, having won four straight state titles in football while being named the 11AA player of the year and becoming South Dakota’s all-time passing leader. Expect him to redshirt his first year in Columbus, as he adds weight and gets used to a higher competition level. The Buckeyes received a pledge from high floor quarterback, even if Kienholz’s ceiling isn’t as high as some of Day’s recent recruits.

Friday Night Notes: New QBs for Notre Dame and Florida State, Oregon eats their fill, plus more

In this edition of Friday Night Notes, Florida State and Notre Dame get commitments from QBs, Oregon loads up and Alabama has a big weekend.

USA TODAY High School Sports‘ Friday Night Notes is a weekly high school recruiting recap that looks at the latest news from around the country—from the Class of 2023 to ’24 and beyond.

Many of the best quarterbacks from the recruiting class of 2023 have already made their college commitments. However, there are still a few potential diamonds in the rough out there. This week, Florida State and Notre Dame both picked up commitments from highly ranked QB prospects.

Florida State: Brock Glenn

On Monday Florida State pulled off a recruiting coup by flipping four-star QB Brock Glenn from Ohio State. Glenn (6-foot-2, 195 pounds) is ranked No. 23 at his position and No. 12 in the state of Tennessee. As a Junior, Glenn threw for 1,576 yards, 23 touchdowns and nine picks. He committed to the Buckeyes back in late July but the Seminoles never gave up on him.

Glenn is the ninth blue-chip prospect overall for Florida State, now ranked No. 17 in this recruiting cycle – a few points behind Arkansas. Ohio State has dropped to No. 6 behind Texas.

Notre Dame: Kenny Minchey

The Fighting Irish also managed a QB flip of their own, of sorts. Last week Kenny Minchey decommitted from Pittsburgh, and it’s now clear he had Notre Dame in his sights when he made that decision. On Tuesday, Minchey announced his new commitment:

Minchey (6-foot-1, 207 pounds) is ranked No. 12 in his class at his position and No. 254 overall in the country.

While getting Minchey was big, Notre Dame still ranks No. 3 in the recruiting race, while Pitt is all the way down at No. 50.

Here’s what else is in the notebook. Let’s get to it…

Ohio State and 2023 quarterback commit part ways

OSU lost a commitment today, but one that shouldn’t be too surprising. #GoBucks

Ohio State has lost a commitment from 4-star 2023 quarterback commit Brock Glenn.

Out of Memphis, Tennessee, Glenn committed to the Buckeyes in late July of this year. He pledged himself to Ohio State not long after he was offered a scholarship and seemed to jump at the chance to be a part of the development track record of Ryan Day and the program at the position.

With the decommitment, Ohio State is now down to 19 players in the 2023 recruiting cycle after other defections that took place prior. Glenn quickly pivoted and announced a commitment to Florida State.

The news leaves the Buckeyes without a quarterback in the 2023 class, but this development doesn’t appear to be one that OSU is too upset about. Glenn has not performed well as of late and the Ohio State staff had already begun to look at other options in the class. That will continue with more urgency now.

Ohio State would appear to already be in good shape anyone for at least the next two to three years with former 5-stars Kyle McCord and Devin Brown waiting in the wings, and with another 5-star and current No. 1 overall recruit according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Dylan Raiola, already verbally committed for 2024.

LSU quarterback target commits to Ohio State

A late push from the Buckeyes was enough to land Brock Glenn.

LSU’s search for a quarterback commit in the 2023 class will have to wait.

On Saturday, four-star Memphis quarterback [autotag]Brock Glenn[/autotag] committed to Ohio State over Florida State, Auburn, TCU and the Tigers. Despite making the final five, it wasn’t a surprise to see Glenn head elsewhere.

For a while, it seemed Glenn was destined to head to Tallahassee. After the Seminoles saw quarterback Chris Parson decommit, they received several predictions to land Glenn, who had long been connected to Auburn, where he is a legacy.

However, a late push from the Buckeyes made the difference, and the No. 335 overall player in the 2023 recruiting class will be heading to Columbus.

After missing out on quarterbacks [autotag]Arch Manning[/autotag], [autotag]Jaden Rashada[/autotag], [autotag]Dante Moore[/autotag], it’s beginning to look like the Tigers may not land a passer this cycle.

LSU looks good for the near future at the quarterback position as it has a pair of veterans in [autotag]Myles Brennan[/autotag] and [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] as well as younger players in [autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag] and [autotag]Walker Howard[/autotag].

Despite the lack of a quarterback commit, the Tigers currently have 17 prospects in the 2023 class, which ranks 10th nationally.

Ohio State lands four-star quarterback

Ohio State lands four-star quarterback #GoBucks #BOOM

The Ohio State Buckeyes are back in business on the recruiting trail. After a rough few days of missing out on some highly touted targets, Ryan Day and his crew snagged their quarterback of the class of 2023 in Brock Glenn. The four-star gunslinger from Tennesse was offered in early June and proceeded to take a visit during the middle of June and apparently liked what he saw.

Glenn mentioned during his announcement that his main priority when looking for a school was the coaching staff and his opportunity for development. He noted that he trusted Ryan Day and Corey Dennis. Glenn also mentioned his excitement for the Ohio State offense and felt that he would be comfortable at the collegiate level because he runs a similar offense currently in high school.

This was a big get for Ohio State as Florida State was fighting hard for the services of Glenn, but at the end of the day the extremely strong offensive class Ohio State has put together likely swayed Glenn into coming to Columbus.

 

Four-star 2023 quarterback lists LSU in his final 5, sets commitment date

Ohio State is now the favorite to land Glenn, a blue-chip quarterback from Memphis.

[autotag]Brock Glenn[/autotag], a 6-foot-2, 195-pound quarterback in the 2023 class from Memphis, Tennessee, has listed LSU among his final five. The four-star quarterback also set a commitment date and will announce his decision on Saturday.

The Tigers made the cut along with Ohio State, Florida State, TCU, and Auburn. Glenn’s grandfather was a graduate of Auburn in 1963. His family ties are so deep in orange and blue that his first name is Auburn. Literally.

Due to that, Auburn was the favorite to land the talented signal-caller for a while, until Florida State came knocking. The Seminoles had a commitment from another four-star quarterback in the 2023 class in Chris Parson until they decided to put a lot of chips on the table for Glenn — the No. 335 overall player in 2023 and No. 17 quarterback, per the 247Sports Composite.

When that happened, Parson de-committed and left them without a quarterback in the 2023 class. So, Florida State was a favorite for a while after that. Now, it seems that Ohio State is the favorite.

Seven different experts on 247Sports Crystal-Balled him to Ohio State on July 28. With all of that being said though, never count out [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] in any recruiting race. A lot of people thought the Tigers were out of the running for [autotag]Paul Mubenga[/autotag], and look at what happened there.

We’ll keep you posted here on LSU Wire as Glenn is set to make a decision Saturday.

Auburn QB target sets commitment date, lists Tigers in top five

Auburn is in the running to land one of the most talented quarterbacks in the 2023 recruiting cycle.

Auburn hopes to land the next key piece to their 2023 recruiting class in the form of a four-star quarterback.

[autotag]Brock Glenn[/autotag], a four-star quarterback from Memphis, Tennessee, has revealed that he will choose between Auburn, Florida State, Ohio State, LSU, and TCU on Friday, July 30.

Auburn has been high on Glenn’s radar since birth. According to On3, Glenn’s grandfather graduated from the Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine, which formed a long-term connection with the University. So much so, that his parents gave Glenn the first name of “Auburn.”

Glenn tells On3 that he feels that Auburn is heading in the right direction under head coach [autotag]Bryan Harsin[/autotag].

What Coach Harsin is doing with the program is amazing. He is truly changing the culture and entire program for the better, and I really believe they will be contenders here soon. I also love Auburn’s great tradition, I believe it’s one of, if not the best in the nation. They have great fans and a great community. Coach Harsin’s offense is really good as well, and I do believe it prepares you for the NFL, especially from a mental aspect, which is very important to me. Overall, Auburn is a great program with great people!

Despite his first name, and his strong feelings towards Auburn, Harsin may have some competition to fight off. According to all three major recruiting sites, On3, 247Sports, and Rivals, all signs point to Glenn committing to Florida State.

Glenn is the No. 20 ranked quarterback in the nation for the 2023 class, and the No. 9 overall prospect from Tennessee. He was also one of 20 quarterbacks to compete in the Elite 11 finals that were held in California last month.

Expect Auburn’s QB target to commit in near future

Auburn Football hopes to receive good news from four-star quarterback Brock Glenn very soon.

Auburn quarterback target [autotag]Brock Glenn[/autotag] is set to compete in the Elite 11 finals this week in Los Angeles, California. Out of the 20 competitors in this year’s event, Glenn is one of three quarterbacks that have yet to commit. That could change following this week’s event.

Once he arrived in Los Angeles on Sunday, Glenn spoke with Sports Illustrated’s John Garcia Jr about his recruitment. Garcia wrote a synopsis of the conversation.

Brock Glenn has added the most recent offers among passers still looking to make the final call. The Memphis native picked up LSU in recent days and told SI on Sunday he is considering the Tigers despite the lack of an official visit to Baton Rouge. Auburn is the program he’s most familiar with while Ohio State, another recent offer he was able to vet with an official visit, appears to be a primary challenger. Florida State, Mississippi State and TCU are also in the mix for the accurate Glenn, who says he wants to come off the board “as fast as I can” once the event wraps up.

Despite being courted by other Power Five programs, Glenn is still expected to commit to Auburn says 247sports. Three writers, including Auburn Undercover’s Christian Clemente, have confidently predicted that Glenn will land with Auburn by giving Auburn the Crystal Ball.

Glenn is a 247sports composite four-star quarterback from Memphis, Tennessee. He is the No. 18 ranked quarterback in the nation, and the 9th best prospect from the state of Tennessee. He would be a much-needed addition to Auburn’s 2023 recruiting class, which only has two commits to this point, and would hopefully spark a surge of commitments.

This 4-star QB recruit has unofficial visit to Florida set next week

Chalk up another blue-chipper who plans on swinging through Gainesville this month.

Things are heating up in Gainesville and it is not just the impending summer swelter that continues to push the mercury upwards. Florida football’s recruiting team is hard at work burning the midnight oil as [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] and staff host a plethora of prep prospects in the Swamp over the next several weeks.

While many from the high school ranks are making their official visits to campus, there are also others who are not quite sold on the Orange and Blue but are getting a gander just in case. One of those recruits is 4-star quarterback Brock Glenn out of Memphis (Tennessee) Lausanne Collegiate School, who recently set his crosshairs on Gainesville for an unofficial visit on Monday, according to 247Sports’ Steve Wilfong.

“Florida and I have been in contact for a little now. They love my film and everything they’ve seen so far, but they really want to see me in person and on campus.”

Glenn currently ranks No. 363 overall and No. 20 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite, while the On3 consensus has him at Nos. 450 and 23, respectively. The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine currently has Auburn in front with a 94.3% chance of landing him and 247Sports agrees, awarding two crystal ball predictions to the Tigers.
