How many QBs are getting picked in the first round? Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders? Jaxson Dart?
We’re excited to announce we’ll be hosting Andy & Ari On3 LIVE from the Draft in Green Bay on Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25!

We know who is going first (Miami QB Cam Ward) and we’re pretty sure who is going second (Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter), but what happens after that is anyone’s guess. How many QBs will go in the first round? The sports books have set the total at 2.5. Does that mean Ward, Shedeur Sanders and someone else? Could Louisville’s Tyler Shough sneak in? Plus, Andy has some advice for the teams considering receivers: Don’t overthink it. Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan was the only weapon on a bad team and still put up huge numbers. We also have quite a bit of college football news to discuss. The collective at Arkansas wants to collect a reported $200,000 from Madden Iamaleava after the freshman quarterback left last week to join his older brother Nico at UCLA. Meanwhile, the federal judge overseeing the House v. NCAA case issued an order Wednesday saying she’d blow up the proposed settlement if the NCAA doesn’t phase in roster caps to keep athletes from getting cut from their teams because of the settlement.

Joey Aguilar left UCLA on Monday and committed to Tennessee by Monday evening. He’ll compete to replace Iamaleava, who left Tennessee for UCLA and took the job Aguilar had hoped to have. Meanwhile, Nico Iamaleava’s younger brother Madden left Arkansas and will transfer to UCLA, the school he flipped away from on National Signing Day. Elsewhere in the transfer portal, former Syracuse receiver Trebor Pena is considering Penn State. This would be a huge pickup for the Nittany Lions, but they’ll have to fight off Miami to get him.

Is he ready? Do we know anything based on what we’ve seen? Colorado offensive tackle Jordan Seaton voiced his frustration last week with the transfer portal after the Buffaloes lost their starting center. Ari thinks someone playing for Colorado doesn’t need to complain about the portal. Andy thinks Seaton has every right. Plus, Nico Iamaleava officially transfers to UCLA.

When will Nico and UCLA become OFFICIAL? Revisiting QB Rankings
We’re excited to announce we’ll be hosting Andy & Ari On3 LIVE from the Draft in Green Bay on Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25! We’ll be set up right outside the famous Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field at the Culver’s Great Wisconsin Tailgate. Born in Wisconsin, Culver’s is the home of the legendary ButterBurger, Fresh Frozen Custard and Wisconsin Cheese Curds—there’s no better representation of America’s Dairyland than that. We’ll have some very special guests throughout the Draft that you won’t want to miss, so stay tuned for more details and get ready for a weekend of fun, made fresh with our friends at Culver’s: https://go.culvers.com/culvers/sAkHC (0:00-1:14) Nico Watch....

While all signs point towards UCLA for the former Tennessee quarterback, there has yet to be anything official announced. Meanwhile, the quarterback room for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish got a little smaller on Thursday, as veteran Steve Angeli enters the portal. Is this a potential option for Tennessee in 2025, or will Angeli look to go to the group of 5? It's also a Dear Andy & Ari show, and we have some excellent questions from our listeners. First off we take a look at the 2023 QB class which contains Arch Manning, Nico Iamaleava, Sam Leavitt, and Lanorris Sellers. Were the qb rankings of these guys accurate so far? What about the class of 2021 and 2022? More questions revolve around Nico, but one from an Oklahoma fan comes in on Jim Nagy: Is he worth the hype? Later, the guys do a deep dive into North Carolina's situation on the field while discussing the news regarding Bill Belichick and his girlfriend. To wrap up, we receive a gift from Producer River's high school coach: his hudl tape. We close out the show by breaking down some of River's best plays, and others that are definitely illegal these days.

The spring transfer portal has been open a day, and quarterback Nico Iamaleava remains the biggest conversation. He’s reportedly in talks with UCLA, but it doesn’t seem like the deal is done yet. Meanwhile, UCLA QB — and former Appalachian State QB — Joey Aguilar is waiting to find out what happens with Nico. Pete Nakos of On3 joins Andy and Ari to break down that story as well as several other intriguing players hitting the portal. North Carolina lost edge rusher Beau Atkinson, who was the Tar Heels’ most productive returning player. Wisconsin lost tight end Tanner Koziol, who had transferred earlier this offseason from Ball State. Boise State lost linebacker Andrew Simpson Syracuse lost leading returning receiver Trebor Pena. Syracuse coach Fran Brown broke down what happened with Pena on the Cuse Sports Talk show, leading to a hilarious rant about NIL deals. Want to watch the show? Join us LIVE, M-F at 9:30 am et!
