The college football landscape changes dramatically every season, and college fantasy footballers must embrace the new paradigm every summer. While there are quarterbacks returning with impressive resumes on the same team, many programs have a new signal caller leading the offense.
Four of the Top 10 CFF quarterbacks in Fantasy Points Per Game (FPPG) last year are no longer on campus. Three transferred programs with only three returning to their previous school in the same scheme. Among the Top 24 CFF QBs, only 13 come back in 2025—the turnover can be daunting for some college fantasy football players.
CFF QB Tiers
Do not fret readers! The player pool is navigable with a little homework, and I provide the cheat sheets to study. College Fantasy Football quarterback profiles are a labor of love. For the twelfth year, I am providing CFF players with insight into the player pool. The profiles are in tiers—Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude and Cum Laude—to provide flexibility for CFF coaches based on their league’s scoring format and personal preferences. Enjoy my fellow CFF diehards!
Summa Cum Laude
Cade Klubnik, Clemson
Team Offense (Rank): 452 ypg. (11)
Passing Yards: 278 ypg. (15)
Points Scored: 34.7 ppg. (18)
2024 FPPG: 32.1
Over the course of his Clemson tenure, coach Dabo Swinney has produced some of the best CFF quarterbacks—Tajh Boyd, Deshaun Watson, and Trevor Lawrence. Cade Klubnik has joined an elite group under Swinney’s apprenticeship at Clemson. In 2024, the 6-2 and 210-pounder composed one of the all-time great campaigns at Clemson, registering 43 total touchdowns. He completed 63.4% of his passes for 3,639 yards with 36 passing touchdowns against only six interceptions. Klubnik added 463 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, finishing fourth among CFF QBs in Fantasy Points (FPs) with 449 while averaging 32.1 FPPG. He was named a second-team All-ACC selection and All-America honorable mention.
Klubnik kicks off the upcoming campaign having completed 659-of-1,040 career passes for 7,180 yards with 57 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. He has also scrambled for 784 yards and 13 touchdowns and caught a 19-yard pass. The senior ranks among the top five in school history in many passing categories: fourth in passing touchdowns, passing yards, and passing attempts, and fifth in completions. He also starts the season fifth in total career touchdowns and sixth in total offense. The Tigers’ signal caller is my highest-ranked CFF QB and is poised to repeat last year’s numbers.
Notebook: In the offseason, Klubnik stated “I think that I had a pretty good season last year, but I want to be elite—that’s consistency in every game, every drive, every play. I have a very high standard for myself, and I want to continue to chase that. Continually making big plays and not forcing them, limiting negative plays—that was a big thing that I got better at last year.” (247Sports.com)
Arch Manning, Texas
Team Offense (Rank): 437 ypg. (21)
Passing Yards: 279 ypg. (14)
Points Scored: 33 ppg. (29)
2024 FPPG: 12.6
I have participated in four drafts, and Arch Manning has been selected within the first two rounds in three. The hype train for the Texas field general has not even left the station yet. Just wait until the national media jumps on board during July and August. Manning will likely be a first-round selection in nearly every CFF league once the casual fan starts drafting—I am lucky to have acquired the Longhorns’ quarterback on two teams already.
Arch is football royalty: He is the grandson of Archie (Mississippi and Saints), the nephew of Peyton (Tennessee and Colts) and Eli (Mississippi and Giants), and the son of Cooper. Since he entered high school, Arch has garnered media attention. As a high schooler, he earned Louisiana all-state honors four times and logged a 34-9 record. He passed for 8,599 yards and posted a 115-20 TD:INT Ratio. He also rushed for 1,155 yards and 25 scores. A five-star recruit, Manning was an All-America and rated No. 1 nationally by 247Sports,
For the past two seasons under the tutelage of coach Steve Sarkisian, Manning learned on the sideline behind Quinn Ewers. The junior signal caller has appeared in 12 games with two starts for the Longhorns, producing 21.9 and 34.3 FPs. In another game coming off the bench against UTSA, he earned SEC Co-Freshman of the Week honors, totaling five touchdowns with 223 passing and 53 rushing yards while scoring 44.2 FPs. The Longhorns are loaded on offense, and Texas is one of the early favorites (+250) to win the Conference. I will acquire Manning in every draft possible this year.
Notebook: “I get that everyone’s excited (about Manning)…that run happened and people started talking—they’re almost surprised with that last name that he has that speed, and the ability to generate big plays with his legs, and he gets transformed into this elite prospect. The reality is we haven’t really seen him run the offense with any consistency yet. And that’s not his fault, he just hasn’t played,” a college scout disclosed (sportsnaut.com).
LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina
Team Offense (Rank): 408 ypg. (45)
Passing Yards: 223 ypg. (75)
Points Scored: 30 ppg. (47)
2024 FPPG: 26.5
The NFL Industrial Scouting Complex is already taking a deep dive into LaNorris Sellers’ skills and professional potential. In the CFF hobby, his future professional success takes a back seat to the upcoming season and the prospective fantasy points that he can produce. As a redshirt freshman last season, Sellers scored 26.6 FPPG and four times surpassed 30 FPs.
At 6-3 and 240 pounds, Sellers is a dynamic dual-threat signal caller, who was named National Freshman Offensive Player of the Year, SEC Freshman of the Year, and Second Team All-SEC. On the field, he completed 196 passes (65.6%) for 2,534 yards, averaging 8.5 yards per attempt, and posted an 18-7 TD:INT Ratio. He scampered for 674 yards and seven scores. Twice last year, he eclipsed 300 yards passing, and in two games, he logged over 100 yards rushing.
In 2022, Sellers was the No. 4 recruit in South Carolina and the No. 16 quarterback in the country. He was the only quarterback signed by the Gamecocks, and he spent a year learning the system before exploding last season. With a strong arm, scouts are drooling over the abilities that Sellers displays: He is a hard worker with rare size and speed. I am going to enjoy another productive season on campus, hoping he leads CFF teams to championships.
Notebook: In the spring, coach Shane Beamer revealed that “(Sellers) is still quiet. But I do see him being willing to speak up more than he did last season. At this time last year, he was trying to earn the starting job and was still a freshman. He hadn’t even finished a year on campus…he hadn’t started (a game) yet. He’s still quiet, but certainly, let’s just be real, he’s the leader of the offense and this football team.” (on3.com)

Avery Johnson, Kansas State
Team Offense (Rank): 427 ypg. (31)
Passing Yards: 211 ypg. (85)
Points Scored: 31 ppg. (46)
2024 FPPG: 27.8
Kansas State promoted Matt Wells to offensive coordinator in the offseason, and he will call plays for the Wildcats in 2025. He plans to incorporate the same run-based scheme in Manhattan, KS, which emphasizes a dual-threat quarterback who can move the chains with his legs. Returning behind center, Avery Johnson possesses a near-perfect football skill set in the Wildcats’ scheme and has a year of experience behind center.
In high school in 2023, Johnson was the top-ranked player in Kansas, No. 8 QB, and No. 85 player overall in the nation. As a senior, he threw for 2,768 yards and 29 touchdowns in addition to rushing for 817 yards and 15 scores. He also competed in the Elite 11 Finals as well as playing in both the U.S. Army Bowl and the Under Armour All-America Game.
At 6-3 and 188 pounds, Avery guided the Wildcats to school records with 6.57 yards per play and 6.1 yards per carry last year as a team. The sophomore steered a unit that finished fourth in school history in total offense per game, fifth in total yards (5,549) and sixth in rushing yards (2,801). In the air, Johnson passed for 2,712 yards with 25 touchdowns, and on the ground, he accounted for 605 rushing yards and seven scores. Avery is ranked in the Summa Cum Laude tier and is a great option at current CFF ADP.
Notebook: “The maturity and growth of Avery, you could tell there’s so much more of a comfort level. Last year at this time, he had played (in only) one game, and we were trying to keep him progressing. Now you can tell he’s got another 12, 13 games under his belt, and the confidence he has, the leadership that he has, and it has just made our whole offense a lot more confident (and) a lot more efficient,” coach Chris Klieman voiced during spring practices (cjonline.com).

Among the following dual-threat signal callers, who will score the most fantasy points in 2025?
- Demond Williams, Washington: 30%
- Marcel Reed, Texas A&M: 15%
- Colton Joseph, Old Dominion: 30%
- Devon Dampier, Utah: 25%
Scholar’s Selection: I have all four of the above players ranked in the same tier, and I would prefer to have one as my second signal caller on a CFF roster. Therefore, I would patiently wait for the value to fall to me. If I had to select one of the above, I like Colton Joseph the most among the quartet. He finished eleventh in FPPG (29.1) last year, and the Monarchs’ schedule is enticing in 2025.
“It’s Devon Dampier for me!” @CffDfs
“I think Colton Joseph has the easiest road ahead, but Demond Williams isn’t too far behind. Joseph has a difficult start to the year; nevertheless, has plenty of fantasy opportunities after the team’s first bye.” @eliotmays
“I’m a Colton Joseph type of guy.” @_RandUniversity
Magna Cum Laude
Garrett Nussmeier, LSU
Team Offense (Rank): 432 ypg. (25)
Passing Yards: 315 ypg. (7)
Points Scored: 31 ppg. (47)
2024 FPPG: 26.9
A love-hate paradigm describes my opinion of coach Brian Kelly. On the positive side, he has sculpted offenses that furnished many CFF playmakers during his coaching career at Cincinnati, Notre Dame, and LSU. Two years ago, QB Jayden Daniels, WR Malik Nabers and WR Brian Thomas all helped CFF coaches win championships. Last season, QB Garrett Nussmeier replaced Daniels and recorded an impressive first campaign calling signals.
At 6-2 and 198 pounds, the fifth-year senior watched and learned for three seasons on the bench before taking over the reins of the LSU offense. In 2023, CFF diehards glimpsed Nussmeier’s potential when he started the ReliaQuest Bowl on New Year’s Day, throwing for 395 yards and three touchdowns while leading the Tigers to a victory over Wisconsin.
In 2024, Nussmeier completed 337 passes for 4,052 yards and 29 aerial strikes. He did score three times on the ground but lost 38 yards rushing on 34 carries. He also captured a second consecutive bowl MVP after leading LSU to a win over Baylor in the Texas Bowl. Statistically, he was the most productive first-year starter in school history with more passing yards, completions, attempts, touchdowns and total offense than any Tigers’ quarterback. At press time, Nussmeier is an early Heisman favorite (+900) and one of the top CFF quarterbacks with a massive fantasy ceiling in Kelly’s scheme.
Notebook: “It’s kind of amazing that Garrett Nussmeier is still, in many ways, kind of flying under the radar. I feel like he’s a guy that had such a great season last year, but people have pointed to some of the mistakes that were made, like the interception thrown against A&M,” ESPN analyst Greg McElroy expressed in an offseason interview (collegefootballnetwork.com).
QB Garrett Nussmeier made some wild decisions on the Ole Miss tape. But he also stepped up when LSU needed a play.
He has "make it" stuff for the next level. But projecting his ceiling will be the main challenge for NFL teams. pic.twitter.com/L0nfeZMvHo

Blake Horvath, Navy
Team Offense (Rank): 371 ypg. (83)
Rushing Yards: 248 ypg. (6)
Points Scored: 31 ppg. (39)
2024 FPPG: 30.1
I have always had a special appreciation for the military academies and the unique version of the triple-option offense utilized at each school. In 2015, at the Rent, I saw Navy come to town when QB Keenan Reynolds commanded the Cadets’ offense. Against the Huskies, he sprinted for 142 yards and three scores along with a 40-yard touchdown pass—an incredible performance to see live. During three years at the helm (2013-2015), Reynolds rushed for 3,910 yards and scored 78 times.
Regrettably, it had been a while since a Navy quarterback impacted the college fantasy universe. Finally, last year, Blake Horvath ascended to the top of the CFF QB rankings as one of the better free agent pickups. The Cadets’ quarterback popped up as a waiver wire gemstone after producing two monstrous games: He scored 40.7 FPs versus Temple in Week 2 and followed it up with a whopping 67.1 FPs against Memphis. The CFF rostership of the Navy commander skyrocketed, and he became a weekly starter the rest of the campaign.
When the season ended, Horvath was the eleventh most productive CFF QB (361 FPs), averaging 30.1 FPPG, which was the eighth-best among all field generals. He rushed for 1,254 yards, scored 17 times on the ground and passed for 1,353 yards with 13 aerial strikes. The 6-2 and 195-pounder was named the MVP of the Armed Forces Bowl, the Army-Navy Game Co-MVP, and a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien Award. Horvath has been named Team Captain (unanimously by teammates) for the upcoming season and is braced to be a Top 10 CFF QB in 2025.
Notebook: “Blake has been a great player for us and has been a tremendous part of our success this year. More importantly, he’s just a great young man, and he’s everything that the Naval Academy values and embodies and is a great leader for us. He’s a super smart kid, a great teammate. He inspires the guys around him, and there’s not enough good things to say about Blake,” coach Brian Newberry said last fall (dispatch.com).
Sawyer Robertson, Baylor
Team Offense (Rank): 440 ypg. (20)
Passing Yards: 261 ypg. (34)
Points Scored: 34 ppg. (19)
2024 FPPG: 25.9
In the storied history of college football, Baylor’s Robert Griffin III recorded one of the more memorable Heisman campaigns in 2011 and is the only Bears’ player to ever win the award. He passed for over 4,100 yards with 37 aerial strikes and scampered for 699 yards with 10 scores while leading Baylor to a 10-3 mark. Sawyer Robertson did not approach the memorable heights of Griffin’s campaign, but he statistically came close.
In 2024, Robertson completed 62% of his passes for 3,071 yards and 28 touchdowns. He added 230 rushing yards and four scores. He finished the season as CFF QB19 with 338 FPs, averaging 25.9 FPPG, which was 28th among QBs. At Baylor, Robertson is close to reaching preeminence in the school’s history books: He is only 2,366 passing yards away from third on the list and 36 touchdowns behind Griffin for second place. Barring an injury, Robertson easily surpasses 14 former Bears’ passers for yards and should finish his college tenure among the Top 5 in passing touchdowns at the school. I’ll bank those numbers on CFF rosters every season.
Notebook: “(Sawyer) knows it’s his team and he’s doing a great job with it. He’s trying to take that leadership role over. Last year at this point, he was just trying to win the quarterback competition. And now he’s put together a pretty solid year. He knows what he needs to improve individually…but where you notice him the most is just the leadership role that he has,” offensive coordinator Jake Spavital voiced in the spring (baylorlariat.com).
John Mateer, Oklahoma
Team Offense (Rank): 331 ypg. (113)
Passing Yards: 176 ypg. (119)
Points Scored: 24 ppg. (97)
2024 FPPG: 39.5
Over the past decade, John Mateer recorded one of the best CFF crusades by a signal caller, and many CFF managers drafted him very late, and some picked up the former Cougars’ dual-threat All-American on the waiver wire. He finished the campaign as the top-ranked CFF QB with 474 FPs while averaging 39.5 FPPG.
A team captain at Washington State, Mateer was named a Manning Award Finalist and Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Semifinalist. He earned Pac-12 Conference Offensive Top Performer honors after completing 224-of-347 pass attempts (64.6%) for 3,139 yards and 29 touchdowns with seven interceptions. He also rushed for 826 yards and 15 touchdowns, finishing the regular season leading the country with 44 touchdowns. Afterwards, he entered the transfer portal and signed with Oklahoma.
In 2025, there is disagreement in regard to Mateer’s fantasy upside. The Sooners’ offense sputtered under coach Brent Venables over the past two seasons. The offensive line and receivers did not perform to the standards required for success in the SEC. Has Venables upgraded the unit around Mateer enough to move up the offensive rankings? I have my reservations in regard to the difficult schedule for the Sooners, and Mateer falls down the CFF QB rankings with the cloak of ambiguity engulfing the Sooners’ offense.
Notebook: During an interview, Oklahoma insider John Williams remarked that “If you’re going to be the quarterback at Oklahoma, if you’re going to lead Oklahoma back to the playoffs, back into title contention, you cannot afford to have some of these passing performances that John Mateer had against some of the defenses Oklahoma will play.” (collegefootballnetwork.com)
Owen McCown, UTSA
Team Offense (Rank): 451 ypg. (12)
Passing Yards: 284 ypg. (11)
Points Scored: 33 ppg. (27)
2024 FPPG: 26.1
Coach Jeff Traylor’s offense has been one of the kindest to CFF diehards since 2021, with QB Frank Lewis (2020-2023) slinging the pigskin for the Roadrunners. Last season, Owen McCown was handed the keys to the unit, and the offense remained lethal. The redshirt sophomore posted a 25-10 TD:INT Ratio while passing for 3,424 yards. He also scrambled for 340 yards with three scores. To close the campaign, McCown collected the Myrtle Beach Bowl MVP after leading UTSA to a 44-15 victory over Coastal Carolina.
The son of 16-year NFL veteran Josh McCown, Owen was a three-star recruit coming out of Rusk High School in East Texas. The lefty was ranked as the No. 48 QB in the nation and the No. 106 player in Texas. The 6-1 and 190-pounder played basketball and competed in track and field in high school. In 2022, he enrolled at Colorado and played one season for the Buffaloes before transferring to UTSA. After finishing last year as CFF QB18, McCown has earned the Magna Cum Laude tier heading into 2025.
Notebook: “(Owen) is a pro. I know he’s a redshirt freshman, but he just knows how to prepare. He’s pretty much carried this team a lot this year. We had a lot of guys get injured, and he allowed guys to grow up,” coach Traylor reflected following the Roadrunners’ Myrtle Beach Bowl victory last December (paisano-online.com).

Among the following transfer passers, who will produce the most college fantasy football points in 2025?
- Caleb Veltkamp, Florida Atlantic: 26%
- Thomas Castellanos, Florida State: 8%
- John Mateer, Oklahoma: 49%
- Jackson Arnold, Auburn: 17%
Scholar’s Selection: Based on last year’s production, John Mateer is the easy answer. Nevertheless, I am concerned about his step up in competition from Washington State to Oklahoma in the SEC and playing under coach Brent Venables. I am targeting Thomas Castellanos in coach Mike Norvell’s explosive offense. The Seminoles’ coach must win in order to maintain his job, and he plucked Castellanos out of the portal to help save his job. CFF diehards witnessed the former Boston College dual-threat’s upside in 2023—I have confidence that Norvell made the right choice in acquiring Castellanos.
“Thomas Castellanos for me. I envision a great year both on the ground and through the air at Florida State.” @aceholesrule
“I like John Mateer but who does he have to throw to? Everyone is hurt it seems.” @cusumano_sal
“As long as Auburn can stay healthy, Jackson Arnold will prove a lot of people wrong.” @CFBHeadgear
“For fantasy purposes of this set, give me Caden Veltkamp. John Mateer might be third here—Jackson Arnold has a much friendlier schedule, and I’m worried about that Oklahoma offensive line.” @WBP83
“Consensus will say John Mateer with (new offensive coordinator) Ben Arbuckle in Oklahoma, but I believe we are about to see the Jackson Arnold we were supposed to see last season. Surrounded by elite WRs and a game-changing RB in Alvin Henderson, Derrick Nix will release the beast that is Arnold. Not to mention a beefed-up O-line!” @_NinoBrown_
“I voted for John Mateer but it was close between him and Caden Veltkamp. Nevertheless, he is going to need some of the wideouts to stay healthy. I was liking what I was seeing from Javonnie Gibson until he got hurt. We need a healthy Deion Burks for a full year.” @FFChrisB
Haynes King, Georgia Tech
Team Offense (Rank): 425 ypg. (35)
Passing Yards: 238 ypg. (54)
Points Scored: 29 ppg. (55)
2024 FPPG: 26.6
At times, narrative and reality are in conflict in fantasy sports (and life). Some people are down on Haynes King after a perceived disappointing campaign in 2024. Yet, the numbers illustrate a different story. In 11 games, the fifth-year competitor passed for 2,114 yards and logged a 14-2 TD:INT Ratio while rushing for 583 yards and 11 scores. He posted over 20 FPs nine times and more than 30 FPs in three games, including a season-best 53.1 versus Georgia. He finished the crusade as CFF QB35 with nearly 300 FPs.
In 2023, King was even more impressive, concluding the season as CFF QB5, averaging 31.5 FPPG. The 6-3 and 215-pounder produced a school-record 37 total touchdowns (27 passing and 10 rushing) and recorded career bests in passing (2,842) and rushing (737) yards. Along with Heisman winner Jayden Daniels, he was one of only two P5 players with more than 2,800 passing yards, 25 touchdown passes, 700 rushing yards, and 10 scores. He earned honorable-mention All-ACC and was voted team captain.
Before transferring to Georgia Tech, he played three seasons at Texas A&M—earning a bachelors in business management—but did not see many snaps for various reasons and totaled only 11 touchdowns. In 2022, he collected the A&M Offensive Attitude, Toughness, Top Conditioned Athlete and Sophomore Academic awards. As a recruit in 2021, he was a consensus four-star prospect from Texas. In 2025, King is a terrific roster anchor at quarterback on CFF squads in the third round of drafts.
Notebook: “(Haynes) is a warrior. He’s one of the toughest kids I’ve ever been around in my life. He wills others around him. There’s so much about college football that’s special, and there’s so many things that as a college football coach that you take pride in. Proud of (our quarterback),” coach Brent Key noted in the spring (si.com).

Kevin Jennings, SMU
Team Offense (Rank): 430 ypg. (27)
Passing Yards: 262 ypg. (31)
Points Scored: 36 ppg. (8)
2024 FPPG: 23.8
Last summer, QB Preston Stone was coming off a season-ending injury in 2023, but reports indicated that he would be healthy in time to lead the Mustangs’ offense. Many CFF diehards, myself included, took the discount on Stone, selecting him in CFF drafts. On the field, Stone never appeared completely recovered, and Kevin Jennings shared snaps in the first three games before taking over in the fourth, leading SMU to victory over TCU. Afterwards, Jennings led the Mustangs to eight consecutive victories, the ACC Championship Game and a CFP berth against Penn State.
Despite starting only 11 games, Jennings concluded the season as CFF QB22, scoring 333 FPs. He passed for 3,245 yards, totaled 23 aerial strikes, logged a 150.9 passing efficiency grade, and posted a 9-2 record as the starter. The redshirt sophomore also notched four games with at least 300 yards passing and recorded four outings with at least three touchdown passes. He also scrambled for 354 yards and five rushing touchdowns. The 6-0 and 185-pound playmaker collected Third Team All-ACC honors and was named a finalist for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award.
Coach Rhett Lashlee has guided the Mustangs to a 29-12 (71%) mark in three seasons and tutored Jennings every year on campus. In 2022, Jennings was a three-star prospect coming out of high school and redshirted as a freshman. Heading into 2025, the sleek dual-threat signal caller has mastered Lashlee’s scheme and appears poised to smash opponents once again while leading CFF coaches to the playoffs.
Notebook: “He’s the same old Kevin (after gaining 12 to 13 pounds in the offseason), which is great…I think it’s different when you go into a spring or a season and you’re battling for something or you’re unsure. When you come in and you know that I’m the unquestioned starter and leader of the team, it allows you to carry the responsibility differently. During those eight weeks in the winter program, I think there was no question who’s the leader for us, and it’s Kevin,” Coach Lashlee commented in March (lonestarlive.com).
Demond Williams, Washington
Team Offense (Rank): 391 ypg. (61)
Passing Yards: 262 ypg. (32)
Points Scored: 23 ppg. (104)
2024 FPPG: 9.8
Over the years, I have been burned many times by my exuberance for young players in good offensive schemes to become immediate CFF luminaries. Reflection is imperative to learning, and I am determined not to make the same mistake moving forward. Therefore, I am tempering my expectations for Demond Williams despite his tremendous athletic skills and fantasy ceiling.
At 5-11 and 190 pounds, Williams was a four-star high schooler, who guided his team to the state championship semifinals in Arizona. In four seasons as a starter, he completed 645 throws for 10,035 yards with 93 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. A dual-threat, he also scampered for 2,783 yards and 42 touchdowns. As a senior, he rushed for over 1,100 yards and 20 scores and was named Arizona’s 6A Offensive Player of the Year. Williams, a premier sprinter in high school, qualified for the state meet in the 200m and the 4×100 relay as a junior.
The range of outcomes is vast for the Huskies’ sophomore, and there is more risk than many CFF players are factoring into their rankings. I remain reserved targeting Williams in drafts and will only acquire him at a reasonable value. The Washington quarterback is a wonderful second signal caller on CFF squads rather than an alpha.
Notebook: “(Demond) is such an athletic guy, he’s going to make plays with his feet, but he does not rely on that too much. Get the ball out of his hands on time, go through his reads, and then he’s such a threat with his feet. He’s very coachable. He is a very accurate passer…we know he’s going to make great decisions and put the ball where it needs to be,” offensive coordinator Jimmie Dougherty proclaimed (uwhuskies.com).
