Prospects
Enters the season in close competition with Benji Walker to replace VU all-time leading QB Greg Zolman in QB role. Has all the tools - size, excellent arm strength, mobility and intelligence - to win the job. Takes things in stride, extremely level-headed for age. Continually caused headaches for VU first-team defense as a redshirt last year.
