Class of 2023 QB Malachi Nelson (CA) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (1/16/26)

[Cusefan0307]

Well we need depth after last years carousel of fun so if he wants to come in for what I assume is probably very little I have no issue with it. If nothing else it gives you another veteran option for spring ball.

Was getting my post in before someone here eventually insinuated that he could be the starter because he was the number one recruit 5 years ago.

If you ever hear former 5 star, think Rickie Collin’s but worse

He looks like a quarterback. Porn stash and all

> He's preparing to compete for the starting job there.

Okay my guy.

For sure, I doubt he takes a meaningful snap here much less starts but if he's OK coming in and being a back up guy and we have a spot (we clearly do) then I am all for it.

We love guys named Malachi.

He adds more juice to the QB room which is never bad. Hopefully our shiny new QB coach gets the kid to blossom.
Fran said 2, got 3. Under promise and over deliver.

We were down a Malachi, so this makes perfect sense.

 

[Jdono927]

Nelson was obviously pretty brutal last year (especially the last two starts) but having 3 guys with starting experience behind Angeli makes me feel a lot less worried about what happens if he’s not the same off the Achilles.

All your QB are belong to us.

Fran is legendary

This is a perfect depth piece.

Maybe Toosii wanted to do a collab with him.

From what I’ve heard about Malachi is that none of his problems are due to physical traits.

He was a 5 star for a reason… it was all mental very similar to Rickie Collins.

He had trouble processing and learning the playbook. Issues with poor decision making as well.

 

[djorange1989]

Absolutely and let's hope we only have to see Angeli.

And Odom when we are kicking everyone’s butt and Steve gets to sit!

Add the word Fans and it’s not a typo

 

[djorange1989]

We all know he isn’t going to be higher than QB3 but if the kid thinks he can compete for number 1, why not? This is a very Fran doing Fran things pickup
