Height Weight 40 Grade
6'3 210 5.08 3.10
Starting signal caller two of the past three seasons in Pittsburgh's rotational system. Finished his senior campaign throwing for 58.9%/2,128/18/8, after 55.3%/829/5/4 as a junior.

Tough signal caller that works to make something positive happen. Sets up in the pocket with solid footwork displaying good ball placement, senses pressure and gets outside tackle to make a play on the move or pulls the ball down and runs with it rather than forcing the errant throw. Patient, does not make bad decisions and displays zip on his shorter passes. Can not drive the ball downfield, does not throw with an over-the-top delivery and steps out of his passes which adversely effects his accuracy. Stares down his primary target and not always on the same page as his receivers. Looked terrible early in his senior season, but to his credit fought back and was producing by the end of the campaign. As a result will be brought into a camp next summer. Free Agent.
