One of our recruiting guys, Ryan Callaghan, is officially following him on Twitter letā€™s goooooooo
You have to at least kick the tires with him. He definitely has talent and who cares what his personality is like when you absolutely have to win. Plus he has name recognition, which could help you get a couple of other players.

How similar is Lincoln Riley's offense to Graham Harrell's offense? Both Texas Tech air raid guys. Might play a part in Rattler's decision.

Destinations to know for Oklahoma transfer QB Spencer Rattler​

ByCHRIS HUMMER




One of the biggest transfer pieces of the offseason is now officially in play with Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler announcing his intent to enter the transfer portal.

While the former five-star prospect and No. 1 overall QB in the 2019 class lost his job at Oklahoma this year, heā€™s still expected to have high-profile suitors in the transfer portal. Rattler has thrown for 4595 yards, 40 touchdowns against 12 interceptions and completed 70.1% of passes in his career.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Rattler will be only a redshirt junior in 2022. He technically has three more years of college football left to play due to the 2020 COVID waiver granted to all FBS players. However, Rattler is expected to look for a short-term destination where he can restore his NFL Draft stock.

These are teams that make sense for Rattler in 2022 base, some based on info and others included based on common sense.

ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS​

This is the most natural fit, though the presence of Jayden Daniels complicates things. Daniels, a former elite recruit himself, can return for a fourth season in 2022. But perhaps a change of scenery would be good for both. Daniels regressed as a junior, throwing more interceptions (9) than touchdowns (8). Rattler grew up just minutes away from Tempe in Pinnacle, Arizona. A return home would give both Rattler and the Sun Devils a jolt.

TEXAS A&M AGGIES​

This is more of a connecting-the-dots inclusion, but why wouldnā€™t Texas A&M attempt to upgrade at QB? The Aggies have a championship-worthy roster but have a question mark at QB between Haynes King, whoā€™s coming off a season-ending injury, and Zach Calzada. Rattler would be an immediate upgrade over both and could lift Texas A&Mā€™s ceiling with his accuracy and ability to consistently push the ball downfield.

OLE MISS REBELS​

While Dillon Gabriel has been connected to Ole Miss ā€“ Jeff Lebby served as Gabrielā€™s OC at UCF ā€“ itā€™s also worth mentioning Rattler as a potential replacement for Matt Corral. If Rattler wanted the friendliest possible path to the NFL, Ole Miss would be the best place to start. Lebby and Lane Kiffinā€™s system almost guarantees elite numbers for its QB and thereā€™s plenty of offensive talent around the QB in Oxford.

OREGON DUCKS​

An Arizona native, thereā€™s a decent chance Rattler heads back to the West Coast for his next stop. Oregon makes a ton of sense if so. The future of the Ducksā€™ QB room is true freshman Ty Thompson, but adding Rattler for a year would give Oregon a bridge until Thompson is fully ready to go. Rattler would give the Ducks a dose of accuracy and the ability to consistently stretch the field in a way Anthony Brown could not. I will say, though, that the risk of losing Thompson might not be worth adding Rattler.

LSU TIGERS​

Someone is going to get hired at LSU, and that coach will have a decision to make at QB. Max Johnson has shown promise, but there's talk he could be looking to transfer as well. Rattler would give whoever lands in Baton Rouge a quarterback to build around in Year 1. Rattler, meanwhile, would benefit from a lot of skill talent and a SEC schedule to prove himself against.

ARIZONA WILDCATS​

Arizona is Rattlerā€™s home state and the Wildcats do need a quarterback in the worst way. But would Rattler want to join a rebuilding project? Probably not. But Arizona needs to be included here due to its proximity to his hometown.

TCU HORNED FROGS​

A bit of a curveball, but Sonny Dykes is bringing a new system to Fort Worth that Max Duggan might not be the best fit for. If Dykes is looking for an immediate upgrade at the position, he could do a lot worse than Rattler. The Horned Frogs have skill talent, a friendly offensive system and could potentially provide Rattler a path for a little on-field revenge.

Dude was overrated as hell this year. May still be better than what we got tho so idk. But his attitude can't be great for a team in need of a positive spark on offense. I think of Sam Keller when I think of Rattler.

I guess I'm trying to say pass.

The thing he did really well (pre-snap read, fire the ball out quick) is what our offense needed more than anything this year besides a functional OLine.

You at least gotta kick the tires on him.

I donā€™t like how many people are writing him off and saying ā€œdo not wantā€ because of the video of him being a tool in high school. Man fans can be naive on how many tools are on a Power5 roster when to keep up with the Jonesā€™s you have to bring on kids worse than that every year and hope your culture and their mental puberty fixes it.
