Draft Scouting Report:
Rating: 72 (Chance to start)
Pro Comparison: JT O'Sullivan
Strengths:
Athletic build. Can really drive the ball with good arm strength. Shows good mechanics on a follow through to prevent ball from floating. Willing to stand in and deliver the ball in the face of pressure.
Weaknesses:
Processing needs to quicken. Makes a lot of poor decisions. Gets happy feet when pressured. Footwork needs cleaned up. Needs more nuance throwing with touch to all three levels of the field. Combine testing did not match the athleticism seen on film.
Accolades:
- 2021: TaxAct Texas Bowl MVP
- 2021: 40 starts and 24 career wins as starting QB are most in program history since at least 1990
