Former Notre Dame transfer that was the Wildcats' starting signal caller the past two seasons. Senior passing numbers were 57.2%/2,692/20/10 and second on the team with rushing totals of 75/580/3.3/11. 58.2%/2,251/18/7 passing as a junior, when rushing numbers were 152/450/3.0/9.

Successful collegiate signal caller more a product of the system he played in. Displays good footwork setting up in the pocket, sees the field and effectively reads the defense. Tough, stands in the face of pressure and takes a hit to get the pass off. Pulls the ball down and runs with it if nothing is available. Finds the open wideout on the field and gives receivers a chance with solid placement of his passes. Lacks the great release but times the delivery of his outs correctly and shows some accuracy throwing on the run. Has difficulty hitting receivers in stride, loses a lot when throwing on the run and lacks pinpoint accuracy. Overall does not have a big league arm, which will make it difficult for him to find a place at the next level. Free Agent.
