Full-time starter the past two years. An all-American and
all-Conference selection last season, also winning the Heisman Trophy.
Passing totals were 65.3%/2,542/30/6. Added 204 yards and one
touchdown on the ground. Junior passing numbers were 62.9%/2,282/16/4.
Pos:
Athletic passer coming off a stellar campaign. Patient in the
pocket, stands strong under pressure and displays excellent field
vision. Consistently finds the open wide out, looks away from covered
receivers and goes to the safe underneath route if nothing’s available
downfield. Quickly releases the ball, displays excellent velocity on
short- or intermediate-range throws and leads receivers over the
middle. Gets the ball through the tight spots and displays a sense of
timing. Elusive, escapes the rush and picks up yards with his legs.
Neg:
Occasionally releases the ball off his back foot. Must improve his
downfield accuracy and overall pass placement. Lacks pocket stature
and is easily brought down at the point of attack. Does not drive the
deep throws. Lack of height leads to batted passes.
