Notes: From Eagle, ID. Served an LDS mission in the Chile Antofogasta Mission. Played in 13 games, starting 12, as a freshman in 2015, completing 267-of-446 passes (59.9%) for 3,377 yards, 23 TD, 10 INT. Played in five games, starting against Wyoming in the Poinsettia Bowl in 2016; completed 22-of-33 (66.7%) for 241 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT. Had 8 starts in 2017; completed 147-of-257 (57.2%) for 1,540 yards, 8 TD, 9 INT. Ruptured his Achilles tendon in November 2017. Received full clearance for spring drills in April 2018.
Positives: Looks the part and put up big numbers early in college career. Can make the throws. Moves within the pocket. Shows good ball placement, timing and touch. Can fit the ball into a window or drop the ball over defenders. Sees the field. Adequate-plus arm strength. Can push the ball downfield. Sound mechanics when healthy.
Negatives: Late with throws at times and sometimes does not drive the ball. Inconsistent with his reads. Seems to have regressed instead of getting better. Has had injuries.
Summary: Could re-establish himself and move up with a strong senior campaign and return to freshman-year form.
