Scouting Report

The arm talent is obviously there for Jordan Love, who looks like a natural thrower of the football for Utah State, but the accuracy is not there. Love would benefit greatly from transferring to a power five program and staying in school for one more year as he works through some of these issues.

At this point, Love has a fourth round grade from this writer, and has to improve upon his deep ball accuracy and decision making. It is apparent that Love struggles to read a defense as he often tries to feed balls into double coverage, resulting in a spike in turnovers this season for the Utah State quarterback this season.

After throwing for 32 touchdowns just a year ago, Love has regressed as a junior, throwing 14 interceptions and just 13 touchdowns. Love has great mechanics, footwork, and pocket presence to go along with his arm talent, but at this point, the accuracy issues and mental dexterity of Love’s game are holding him back. If he can get these issues cleaned up, then Love has all of the makings of a big time quarterback at the next level.

Right now, Love ranks as the sixth quarterback of the big seven. Stay in school, young padawan.
