Scouting report
Chris Trapasso: Quick-strike, rhythm quarterback with a snappy, over-the-top delivery. Pinpoint accurate short and intermediate. Good, not great arm and his accuracy down the field leaves a lot to be desired. Impressive throwing on the move and has some gunslinger to his game, especially when throwing down the seam. Above-average athleticism.
NCAA recap
R.J. White: Recruited out of Exton, Penn., Lauletta played in four games for FCS school Richmond as a true freshman before being redshirted in 2014.

The following year, he completed 63 percent of his passes for 3,022 yards with 24 TDs and only eight picks.
Lauletta's numbers as a passer improved again in his season year, when he completed 64.9 percent of his passes for a career-best 3,737 yards and 28 TDs with 12 interceptions. He also added four touchdowns on the ground and even caught a pass for eight yards. His senior year started with a bang, as he threw for 546 yards with five TDs at Sam Houston.
