Tyler Cherry?

[76-1]

Coach Cig has frequently touted the ability for his staff to coach up QBs. Second or third year guys better be strongly in the mix to compete to start or in the future recruits will pass on us.

If Cig and staff have the ability they say they do, then surely A. Mendoza and Cherry will be capable at least for backup duty and if necessary starts, by next fall.

They were unable to coach up Tayven to where they believed in him, seemingly. One miss doesn't mean much though. Gotta have the raw talent to be coached up. He did improve a lot it looked like to me.
,

That would make Coaching Staff #3 that just felt they weren't able to coach Tayven up to the point that they could believe in him as the full time starter...

He clearly has talent but he's evidently not seeing or doing something that the Staff feels needs to be seen or done...

I thank him for his efforts against p u (to put us over 60), WA, & NE and wish him all the best (unless he transfers to pu)...

I think he'll land on his feet... He's at a position of need for nearly everyone...

It wouldn't surprise me to see him do well at his next stop if he chooses well...

I used AI to create a Bison in a bar drinking cherry coke with neon cherries in the background.

My wife got me an IU Bison sweatshirt for Christmas, I love it.

Coach where did she find it? I want 1 too.
I got a Cignetti long sleeve T-shirt for Christmas and I think it is unique.

Check out Homefield Apparel. They have bison tees/hoodies/sweatshirts and all sorts of other very cool stuff.

Homefield was founded by an IU grad, and it shows.

Gotcha!

I recall Cignetti making a strong statement about Cherry in fall camp I believe. He said without hesitation that Cherry was going to be a really good QB....

Cignetti never gave such a compliment to Tayven. Just something to chew on.

Curt Cignetti says staff, team has '100% confidence' in backup QB

Curt Cignetti said that him, the staff, and the team have "100% confidence" in backup quarterback Tayven Jackson.

Cig has absolutely given Tayven compliments. He wouldn't have been the primary backup if he didn't have confidence in him.

 

[Baller23Boogie]

Also, for those that care.

Thanks for sharing! I have no ill will towards Tayven, and I hope that he finds a situation that allows him to thrive.

 

[red hornet]

He's a very good QB. He'll do fine wherever he lands.

 

[OpenWheels]

I was bummed we lost Tayven. But it was pretty clear we were going after big fish in the portal, and we landed one. No guarantees he'll be great for us but all the signs look good.

Hope Tayven wins the starting job and balls out for UCF!

you could tell Cig never thought Jackson could start here. Great we got Fernando

Fernando is going to be amazing next year. He is a top 5 QB nationally. I am so hyped for next year.

 

[Baller23Boogie]

Feel bad for the young man.

ouch, wonder if that was what led to Bell commitment or if that's why we are still looking for a backup QB in the portal.

 

[OpenWheels]

Bummer!

Heal 100% Tyler.

 

[Tegray1]

All makes sense now

I watched all his games at CG and think he has the potential to be a very good college QB. Really smart kid too. Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

I have to find out when she gets home from work.

Tyler’s little brother got hurt in baseball last Spring and was unable to play for CG’s football team this year. He’s all-state caliber in both sports. It likely cost CG another state title. Now Tyler is hurt. That’s a lot for one family to deal with.

Fall's a long ways off. Hopefully he'll be ready to contribute.

 

[Pazhoosier85]

So unless we get another QB from the portal. Alberto is the back up for his brother.

Non contact knees usually mean ACL. That’s a 1 year injury. Would love to be wrong about this one.

 

[Big Red Crimson Buffalo]

Yeah…with the time table they gave of being out likely for the 2025 season, that almost always points to a torn up knee. ACL.

Didn't we just learn that Kurtis played all season with a torn ACL?

 

[Baller23Boogie]

Kurtis didn't have surgery on it.

 

[kmathum]

Kurtis didn't have surgery on it.

Why not?

 

[Baller23Boogie]

Why not?

Because he would have been out a year and was still able to play.

What's the difference between his injury and Tyler's? Are you saying Tyler's injury is more serious. That I could understand.

I’d say that’s fairly obvious.

Or it is better for Tyler to get it fixed now when he isn't the starter

 

[Cortez88]

He didn’t have a choice. Also, Cherry may have other ligament damage or a meniscus. We don’t know the extent.

 

[Chriselli]

Could Cherry play four seasons beginning in 2026 due to this injury? If so, that could be a real blessing in disguise. We could start Fernando for two and then Cherry for three hypothetically with Cherry only technically playing backup one more season.

Yea, should get a medical redshirt if he really is out next year

Or Little Mendoza continues to stay ahead of Cherry

I thought he was saying that Rourke played because he did not have surgery. I had an ACL many years ago. It was not really too painful and I could run on it until my knee would come apart. Then it would get pretty bad. But if you could have a brace that held it together maybe you could play football. On the other hand, once you have surgery you are definitely out for the year.

 

[kraft cheese+macaroni]

Sounds like we got our back up quarterback. Former starter at Old Dominion.

Wilson looks like a capable backup now

In Cig we trust

 

[EvansvilleHoosier88]

We got our experienced back up at least for insurance, but I still think Alberto might beat him out. The blessing of Cig is that we know it’s going to go to whomever is best and not who he feels is owed it.

 

[iueyedoc99]

You should take a QB in every class.

Why?
