QB Judd Anderson commits to Miami

Judd Anderson, a three-star QB out Jones County High in Gray (GA), has committed to Miami.

Miami also wanted to sign Air Noland, who is headed to Ohio State. But make no mistake- Miami's pursuit of Judd Anderson is independent of anything that happened with Noland. He is, and has been, a major priority for them.

They love his frame (6'6 in person), athleticism (19/14 in hoops as a sophomore) and arm strength. He's also a 4.0 student and a home run off the field. Shannon Dawson is a driving force in this recruitment and believes this kid could be a monster as he continues to develop as a dropback passer. Anderson previously played in a Wing T, and they believe the game film is more telling than the stats. Internally, his recruitment has been compared to Emory Williams- a guy who outperformed Jaden Rashada at the Elite 11 and has made an outstanding impression so far in spring.

For those who will say that Miami is just scrambling following the departure of Air Noland, here is a snippet from the March 3rd edition of the Bank:

- They are still evaluating hard at QB. They absolutely love recent offer Judd Anderson (Gray, GA). He is a legit 6’6 with a basketball background. Still developing as a passer, but if he takes a leap as a senior he will be flooded with offers.

Emory Williams was Anderson's host. He told ON3 that they got along really well. Williams told him that the offense took a little time to learn but that he could come in and work and get it down.

Would love a deeper look into this.

maybe it's a reflection of how they feel Emory Williams is coming along. And also JB. They seems to be working a big board of guys for 2025

Would make sense for Emory. Less so the "throw the ball around" part for JB, at least until he rectifies those accuracy issues. I'm not sure what it means for an offense to necessarily have a "big tall QB who likes to throw the ball around."

For those who hope Mario is going to recruit over Judd Anderson (or bring in a 2nd HS QB) :

Anderson says his understanding is he will be the only QB in the class. “I’m their guy,” he said. And he says the message he got from Mario Cristobal is that “He said he’s getting me around some studs. He’s such an amazing guy, I love being around him.”

He also enjoyed spending extensive time with OC Shannon Dawson:

“He said his offense is made for a big, tall quarterback who likes to throw the ball around, and that’s how I think of myself,” Anderson, who is 6-foot-7, said. “We cut up some spring game film, got into it. He showed me different ways I can fit in to the offense.”

Translation:

We fired all our bullets at Air Noland and now the chamber’s empty.

Of the numerous knocks Leach’s Air Raid QBs always had from NFL scouts, their lack of height was always one of them.

They still rewrote college record books.

It's such a nothing quote. It's like saying "this offense needs a big, strong RB who runs fast."

I said earlier that one thing about this staff is they 100% trust their own evals. If they are putting all their eggs in Judd's basket (pause?) it's a heck of a dice roll to make.

Promise or no promise I still wouldn't be shocked if we took a 2nd QB sometime between now and the end of portal season.

Anderson reminds me of Paxton Lynch & Jacob Coker. 2 raw QBs that played in Wing T offenses in HS that went on to have solid College careers.

There is just absolutely no way the staff trust heading into next year with JB/Emory/Judd. 100% chance we'll be looking to portal in a top QB or at least a QB that can compete with JB/Emory next year.

I think as a staff you have to be constantly looking to see who’s available in the portal regardless of what your room looks like.

Miami of Ohio, Bethune Cookman, Temple for sure. And I would expect 4th quarter appearances in at least 3 conference games.

Lol....man y'all do this every year.

Definitely means they are bringing in a Portal QB next year. Which is the right move in my opinion. I expect Dawson + TVD to have a good year which in return will be attractive to some very good portal QB’s next year.

Lol you would think they have learned their lesson by now. The only game for sure a backup QB will get significant reps is Bethune.

In fairness, nearly 100% of 2022 was garbage time…

It was hot garbage the day Gattis stepped on Greentree and didn't change until he left.

Might not bring in a 2nd HS QB but I put all my money on a transfer QB.
