Coach Brad Harris:
“Just a quality kid. Good leader. Our kids follow him. That’s one big attribute we always look for in a quarterback and our kids believe in him. That’s half the battle when you can get a kid your team will follow.”
“He does a really good job with the mental part of the game. He gets it. He has a big arm. We use him as a dual-threat, but he uses his arm and his ability to think and read defenses. We run a lot of run-pass option with him where he’s reading the box. He does a really good job with the RPO game and throwing the football.”
