Saw his story on College Game Day. Good guy - good family - will be a first round pick.

Could tell Trey was really pressing. He had some uncharacteristic throws, but he settled in nicely in second half.
Stat line should have been a bit better. He had a beautiful 55 yard pass that Watson dropped in end zone.
I don’t think he did anything to substantially change the conversation one way or another. He’d really benefit by staying in college, from a development perspective, but everyone is one hit away in football from never playing again. If he also stays, he will be playing for two more years (this spring assuming it happens) and fall, so there is a bit more risk.
Personally based on yesterday.....I think he stays.

Judging only from his stats (and not seeing the game), I can't imagine the game improved his draft status. I would think it would have hurt his draft status.

That game didn’t help his draft status a bit. He had a 107 passer rating, his second worst in career. One scout said he overthrew too many receivers and forced too many balls into coverage. He complimented his running ability but said that he’d have to reign that part of his game back in NFL to avoid injury. He said he just didn’t know at that point if he was the real deal.

Didn’t help it. Not sure if it could have. Kind of a situation where he could only hurt himself in the draft.
I personally just think it is a massive stretch to play 1 year of FCS football and leave for the NFL as a redshirt Sophomore. Really unprecedented in the FBS as well.
I think staying is the best course of action for him.

Exactly. If he plays well against this competition he’s supposed to. If he puts up more below average games like yesterday it just becomes a clown car act show that could really hurt his draft status.

On the other hand, I don't like to see kids leaving college without a degree, even for the NFL. I hope his parents or coaches can offer him some perspective that he doesn't have at his young age.

You should give this scout's name to Braves, so he can straighten out the scout.
