YSU and the Portal
InTheYo:
Former Ursuline QB Brady Shannon has committed to Youngstown State. In HS he was a 3-Star QB that we had offered. He ultimately chose to play D1 Baseball at UCF. However last month he announced he was entering the transfer portal to play D1 football.
In his senior year at Ursuline he threw for 2,829 yards and 24 TD's, while throwing 12 int's. He completed 194/315 (61.5%) of his passes. He also rushed for 832 yards on the ground, where he racked up 8 more TD's. He is 6'3" and 210 pounds.
At the very least thing brings competition to the roster as we know this is a critical position to fill with Mitch Davidson graduating. We will see how he looks in spring ball along with Beau and the two others.

We shall see if Brady Shannon is rusty. Not a bad get but we will need more transfers a that position

Any quality quarterback who enters the portal will want two things: money and a guarantee that he will be the starter. We can't provide the former and we won't provide the latter. The acquisition of Shannon means that there will be no quarterback transfer.
I watched Shannon on tv several times. I remember him as a punishing runner. Ignore his passing stats as very few high schools can play pass defense (ah, just like us.) It will be an interesting battle during spring ball.

Did he get any D1 offers to play QB when he came out of HS? If I recall, Crenshaw was also a 3 star recruit who could run but not pass. I hope this guy could do better.

As a D1 outfielder I'm sure he has raw arm talent to be developed into a very good FCS QB imo.
He was a 3 star recruit according to 247 Sports, ranked 80th overall prospect in the state of Ohio for Football
I only saw 6 other Ohio QBs ranked higher than him for that class. It looks like, UMAss, Akron, Kent and YSU all offered him in 2020 for football.
