Don’t think so. I’d be genuinely surprised if he comes back. Chances Slim to none

The QB  Brosmer from UNH landed at Minnesota right away. That's why I am surprised Poff has not landed anywhere yet.

Kaliakmanis is more like it to me. Cuff to Poff to K-Man?

Rutgers? What a waste. If he were going to FSU, Georgia or Arkansas I could understand it.

Big 10 is Big 10.

Both statements are very true and I do wish him nothing but the best!!! Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, UConn, UMass IMO are all a waste of time. I even think BC or Pitt would of been better fits. I assume the whole reason to move to FBS (Jared Verse) is to have a shot at the NFL. The problem is the NFL isin't beating down the doors of Rutgers for their next franchise QB. In fact I cant think of a single QB to make an NFL roster from Rutgers. Matt Ryan Boston College, Kenny Pickett from Pitt, Donvan McNabb (a long time ago) from Syracuse are the only ones I can think of. I think he would have had just a good a shot coming from UA as he does from Rutgers. 

It will be very different/difficult once he lines up against Michigan, Ohio State etc. with an OL from Rutgers as opposed to lining up against Richmond or Rhode Island. If he flops at the Big 10 level the scouts will know RIGHT AWAY and then he may be passed over. At least if he stayed at UA and rewrote the record books NFL scouts would be intrigued and either draft him or offer him a FA contract with the notion that he played "small school" football and unproven against top competition but lets see how he does against NFL players in camp and preseason games.

I really hope he takes the Big 10 by storm!!!  GOOD LUCK 7!!!!

Plus they were much better this year AND won a bowl game.  Their young QB could not throw the ball.  He is a run QB and their running game was good this year.  Lifetime friend went to Rutgers has season tickets.  We talked about every game and I watched a couple.

Or conversely, if he truly thinks he can make the NFL, he wants to play against the best competition, so if Rutgers gives him the best chance, then that makes more sense to me.  The Big 10 is a better conference top to bottom than the ACC (and probably anyone other than the SEC and that might be a toss-up this year).

Ummm...are we talking Poffenbarger?  Because they just signed two QBs from FBS plus the two they have in their room.  I'd be surprised by this and I have not heard about this from anyone I know at Rutgers.  If he goes there, it's a huge mistake.   In addition, they have an incoming high level recruit at QB.

This does not make sense at all...and it's not like he'd be getting NIL money.

That's what I was alluding to! I haven't seen Poff land anywhere. Brosmer was picked up within a few hours by Minnesota.

I was referring to the Athan. Transferring from Minnesota to Rutgers. Sorry for the confusion 😅

Right now, Poffs best bet is to return to Albany.  Going to a MAC team or Sun Belt team only works if he's a starter on a really good team. I think he's highly outkicking his coverage.  He got bailed out a ton--and I love his gunslinger nature--by his WRs this year.
