2005 (WEST VIRGINIA)
He redshirted during the 2005 season, but completed 7-of-13 passes for 101 yards and a 7-yard touchdown in the Mountaineers’ spring game.

He has plenty of natural ability, can make virtually all the throws, has speed and quickness is a little like Josh Johnson.

Much like Josh Johnson he is a little slender but not quite as mechanically sound, will need to improve pocket presence, accuracy and reading of defenses.

Will need to stay in school for 5th year, study film and bulk up.
