Georgia hopes to line up a more explosive attack this season. According to Pro Football Focus, one of the most productive field marshals in the country will be him in this regard. The media attempted to rank all quarters of FBS universities.
Graduate Jamie Newman’s transfer has reached number 3.
Perhaps there is no more underrated player in school football than Newman, who is expected to enroll in Georgia from Wake Forest. Wake did not respond to the skill of Newman’s arm as much as he deserves, but based on his athletics in the floor attack. Newman’s mobility is a wonderful attribute, but his arm skills are far superior. His touch on the field is arguably the most productive in the country, and that played a decisive role in generating the second most productive deep pass score (throws of more than 20 yards) among Power Five quarterbacks.
The new Georgia communicator was not necessarily in an ideal scenario in Wake Forest, given its use, the strong attack of RPO and the lack of separators in the receiving unit. He really had to throw himself into a narrow window at a higher pace than any quarterback in the country, but he got over it and was given the second-best pass score on such pitches. Now, Newman will move on to an attack led by Todd Monken in Georgia that will respond to his strengths and is reinforced through an incredible cast. Dawg Nation is online to get a good fortune with Newman, not J.T. Daniels – below the center.
Pro Football Focus has already named Newman as the top-rated deep ball pin among Power Five quarterbacks, the top underrated quarterback in school football, and named his touch as the trait he would use for a better school quarterback built on existing players. The middle also has Newman as the third-rated third-ranked quarterback, behind only Justin Fields at Ohio State and Lawrence Trevor in Clemson. PFF also ranked Newman third in the Power Five quarter-finals in deep-ball attempts (among quarterbacks who attempted at least 50 deep balls in the year). According to PFF, 19.8% of Newman’s pitches were deep balls, at least 20 yards beyond the field hit line. Fields had the highest percentage among Power Five quarterbacks with 21.9% and SAM Howell of UNC was at the time at 21.3%. Newman compiled 1,159 of his yards passing through the deep balls with thirteen touchdowns and only three interceptions. Newman was also effective when operating under pressure, making 48.7% of its pitches under those circumstances, according to PFF. Newman was very effective when he was quickly given the ball, completing 70.1% of his pitches with 14 touchdowns and 3 interceptions when the attempt was less than 2.5 moments.
As a runner, Newman has been used in many designed racing games. Totaled 574 yards on the floor and only 164 of the yards on the floor were pushed. This year he totaled 27 forced failed tackles and changed 40 first attempts as a runner, ranking 10th in the quarter-finals at Power Five level.
Newman took the Demon Deacons to an 8-5 record in 2019, their first and only full-time opener. Finished 220 of 361 passes (60.9%) for 2,868 yards, 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He also did a lot of damage to the ground, accumulating 574 yards and six touchdowns on 180 carries and that includes catches. He woke up Forest’s thirteen games in 2019.
