The impressive passer has played better and better as the season has moved along, throwing for 2,3332 yards and 26 touchdowns in total. The 6-foot-1 175-pounder is fresh off his best game of the year where he threw for 370 yards and five touchdowns against Union County. He's playing at a really high level and should only get better as he grows and puts on more muscle mass over time.
