Episode Details

Notre Dame shakes up elite quarterback recruiting as Champ Monds’ commitment looms, triggering ripple effects across the college football landscape. Will Peter Bork pivot to Penn State, Georgia, or Virginia Tech, and which programs are left scrambling for a 2027 quarterback?
Brian Smith analyzes the shifting odds and what these moves mean for teams chasing a “splash” signal-caller to anchor future classes.

The conversation spotlights key prospects—including Julius Jones Jr., Wonderful Champ Monds, and Peyton Houston—while breaking down how FSU, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin and others can stabilize rosters amid fierce roster battles. How will USC’s aggressive NIL tactics and programs like LSU, Ole Miss, and North Carolina shape the quarterback dominoes? Find out which teams are set up for long-term success—and who might be left behind.
