Trebor Pena transferring to PSU

[wiseman3]

You think he would be number 7 on this guys list if he was still at Syracuse. And I don’t necessarily disagree that Trebor belongs on this list. Just funny how national pundits hype up players in rankings based on their position on a preseason contender and not production/skill.

This is the same guy who preseason ranked McCord as the 11th best QB in the ACC last year, lol. And at only 12k followers, I wouldnt exactly call him a national pundit

He was cut from the acc authentic I see

Yeah and if Trebor had stayed here he wouldn’t even be on the list.

 

[FrancoPizza]

I agree

Ehh. He hasn’t made a play where I thought “yeah he’s arrived”. Seems like a perennial backup.

I seriously hope this is a joke…

Was happy to see that he was.

Clown post. How to say you don’t actually watch the games without saying it.

I watched every game, save the second half of Pitt. Those highlight catches were mostly against the weaker opponents on the schedule. He needs to get a lot stronger. Reminds me of Hatcher. Nice player but he shouldn’t be starting unless he’s become a lot more physical.

Goof

JRS is the physical WR who will take on a Meeks like role. Gill I see as a big-play downfield threat. Two excellent complementary skills.

I'm also really excited to see Hornsby and Ross more.

 

[upperdeck]

I thought the catches the FR WR made in the spring game were as good as any our guys made during the season.

 

[Cusefan69]

So final comment on Pena, then looking ahead on our guys who want to be at Cuse.
Absolutely Pena benefited from McCord like everyone else did. Two things. When McCord needed a key catch or play it sure as hell seemed like he looked Pena's way a hell of a lot. So if our QB trusted him that should indicate he was pretty good. Clearly McCord trusted him. Second Pena last season made some incredible plays both in catching a tough pass and in clutch situations. It's to bad he left, last year he was a premium player. That doesn't mean we can't replace him. Lots of diamonds in the rough at WR for us. Looking ahead now. I think Gill is going to be 1st or 2nd team All ACC at WR by end of next season. He is ready.

A bit premature don’t you think?. So you have decided that he seems like a perennial backup after just his true Sophomore season? A season in which he played 12 games, started 3, and had over 500 yds receiving while playing his best ball at the end of the season? Just because physically he is on the slender build side, does not automatically make his upside the same as a redshirt junior Hatcher, who only played a partial season last year. Gill has shown none of Hatchers negative qualities of not being physical and fighting for jump balls. In fact he has crazy ups and has made some amazing aerial plays. And he has excellent speed and good hands.

And to be clear. I don’t dislike Hatcher. He is improving on his negatives.

 

[TexanMark]

Hatcher is my WR I think can play his way into getting drafted or a preferred UDFA.

If your ultimate goal is to be a talent evaluator………. Don’t quit the day job.

I think he will have 800 to 900 yds this year

I'd be completely shocked if this happened. He has all the ability but he doesn't have the aggressiveness that would get him to the next level.

I actually think the opposite is going to happen and some of the younger guys on the depth chart pass him.

I really don't think he will be in top three in yards. Gives up on too many balls that are still catchable and lets other guy catch them.

I will buy all the meats for your 2026 tailgates if Hatcher gets drafted.

That’s aggressive

Would love it if this happened. But I just do not see it.

He has had many opportunities to prove he is "it" but every time falls a bit short.

Agree. I am not seeing a Jamal Custis leap for Hatcher's senior year. I think his peak is part of the regular WR rotation where he has been, which is fine. You need depth.

I hope Hatcher kills it, but as I see it, how does he get reps above: gill, JRS, cook, Darius Johnson (looks ready day 1), Ross & Hornsby. Granted some of the guys I named haven’t done much yet on the field as they are younger, but they seem to have “it”. Rising tide lifts all boats, maybe Hatcher turns it into over drive and makes a leap we don’t expect. I hope he does, just hard to see it based on the room we have.

I agree with this but want to add a caveat. We've seen dudes in parallel situations acknowledge what they're missing and do the work and come back and surprise us. That sort instinct can be tough to learn but it's not like he needs to grow 10" taller in the off season or something.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but couldn't we have said that about Pena going into last year? He was oft injured, but I remember not being super high on him going into the season.
