Oregon has offered 6'3"/260 Jeremy Liggins...

A dual threat 2012 QB, Per Scout.

This site lists him at 238, which could be a far more intriguing weight for a QB.

Cam Newton lite?

If this kid runs anything like a 4.6-ish 40, he may be dyno-mite for somebody.

Yeah, I know... He Ain't Comin'!

He's definitely intriguing but I doubt they've actually offered him as a QB due to who've got so far in this class. May very well be a back-up plan in case one of Oregon's committed QBs goes elsewhere, but I think he's going to end up at a school in the South.

[uostudent]

Did Oregon just offer him? Scout says that he has "low interest" in Oregon. Sounds more like a LB than a QB.

Found this tidbit, from a June 5th posting on an Alabama forum...

"Jeremy Liggins ran a 4.7 40 at the Ole Miss camp on Saturday, & weighed in at 272 lbs."

wow, that is one hunk of a huge quarterback, with exceptional speed for that size...

Sort of reminds me of former Kentucky QB Jared Lorenzen, who was pushing over 300 lbs.

[Duffman57]

Wow, this dude is BIG, he's actually bigger than Cam Newton... He'll be a beast, whether its on O, D at QB or not. He's got the athletic ability, and it seems like he's willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.

I doubt he got a Qb offer, more like "athlete" offer. I would think TE or de.

I'm coming out of retirement to post on this
Holy crap I want this guy
I don't care how many QBs we have, Darron keeps smoking weed in cars he is going to get caught eventually
2013 QB battle should be really fun to watch

[Boom]

I'd take him at QB... He can't be any worse than Masoli when it comes to operating the passing attack.

And at 6-4 260! He would pair pretty nicely with DAT on those zone reads.

chip is looking for dual threat but like Darron Thomas> pass first then run later. I have to admit he has got size. if you see his weaknesses that raises some eyebrows. Talent he has for sure. effeciency may be a different story.

Haaaaaaave ya met Bryan Bennett, Marcus Mariotta or Jake Rodriguez? Because the above describes all three...

I think this kid is much more likely being offered as an athlete.

Serious question
Kid has offers from 10/12 SEC teams and is still only a 3* QB?
How?

Probably see him more as an athlete than a QB so he rates that much higher to the SEC schools.
