Class of 2023 QB Taron Dickens (NC) Portal from Western Carolina/Visiting 1/8/26/Offered

[orangmannc1]

I think 38 TD to 2 Int's is pretty special on any level. He also broke a record completing 49 passes in a row. I saw Odom had 4 Turnovers in their Bowl game, which made me a little queasy.

Remind me how many interceptions that McCord had against Pitt. Hopefully Odom will have a great career as a QB for SU.

Is Taron Dickens, Syracusefan's player version of Dan Mullen thread? Have we had an limo driver reports or med flights out of Charlotte? Is Toga monitoring I90 or 81 south? Get him a hot chocolate with a shot of whiskey and a "toque"! "Hows it going hey?"

 

[CA Monk]

Fire up the air fryer… It's gonna be a long night.
I want CCTV activated in all quadrants and the thermal seekers on high.

He’s still close with Calvin Russell and Nazir Ward

And Boobie too I think

That was a long one!

It would be so huge to be able to have experienced QBs operating teams 1-3 just at practice let alone at games.

Where is he right now? More visits or mulling?

 

[Sdot]

Just a thought but is it possible he’s holding out Miami contacts him since they missed out on a few big name quarterbacks?

Miami of Ohio?

No visits today or tomorrow. It's a Dead period.

What are the teams that need QB#1 still? Miami and Tennessee? Anyone else?

 

[djorange1989]

No inside info but it feels like he will sign with us and everyone is keeping it quiet for whatever reason. But, we shall see, Fran is stealth, someone could have visited before the dead period and we have no idea

At the same time, I could see him waiting on Miami too. Could you blame him?

 

[Archbold44]

Just looked. The 11th best QB available on 247 is Jakhari Williams. It is very slim pickings. Miami and Tennessee have to be a little nervous.

Eli Holstein is somehow 37th. Dickens is like 45th.

And this is exactly why no one should pay attention to portal rankings. Beyond the best available players (who are very obvious anyway), these lists are crapshoots.

Ty Simpson also may have some schools/portal guys on pause waiting to see what he does.

“Multiple reports claim Simpson has a $6.5 million offer on the table from Miami, and both Ole Miss and Tennessee put up $4 million offers for the 2026 season. USA Today reported Simpson was offered $4 million by Miami but "within minutes" the Hurricanes increased the payout.”

How can Jakahari be 11th and Dickens 45? Jakhari hasn't touched the field

It’s because Jakhari is transferring from a powerhouse program. I know, it’s not fair.

No of course not but no offense to this kid but seems like Miami will throw millions at someone high profile last minute and get them into the portal. Dickens is an exciting player but he likely isn’t a Miami target.

He already declared for the draft. Does he have the ability to pull himself out of the draft and hit the portal?
