Three-year starter that was awarded All-Academic honors several times in the past. Finished his senior campaign throwing for 59.1%/2,613/15/11 after 58.1%/2,381/15/10 as a junior.
Hard-working quarterback that lacks the athletic skills necessary to make it at the next level. Sets up in the pocket with solid footwork, patient and buys time for his receivers. Sees the field, takes what the defense gives him and has a solid feel for his position. Finds the open wideout or gets rid of the ball if nothing is available and does not make bad choices under pressure. In tune with his receivers and accurate on the shorter throws but lacks the quick release, big arm and only effective in the short field. Has difficulty leading receivers or hitting them in stride and cannot drive the ball downfield. Does not compensate for his lack of arm by making plays with his legs. Free Agent.
