Junior-college transfer that has started much of the past two seasons. Senior totals were 52.0%/828/4/6 passing, while also adding 62/203/3.3/3 on the ground. Completed 55%/1,135/5/3 the prior season. Started seven games as a senior and only six as a junior.

Athletic throw who makes plays with both his legs and arm. Quick setting up in the pocket, throws with an over-the-top delivery and puts air under his deep passes. Displays adequate arm strength, gets the ball downfield and puts zip on his shorter throws. Nimble, nifty and is able to get outside the pocket or pull the ball down and pick up positive yardage running with it. Not big, lacks stature in the pocket and must improve his overall fundamentals. Shuffles his feet in the pocket, takes too many extra steps and never really sets them. Locks onto his primary target, seemingly predetermines where he'll throw the ball and forces his throws into double coverage. Does not sense pressure and lacks an overall feel for the position. Showed signs of becoming a prospect as a junior but never built upon them last season and as a result will go undrafted. Free Agent.
