Coach Garry Black’s quote: “He’s a very unselfish kid. To return as a preseason all-state-type quarterback and to be willing to do other things shows that. He’s very versatile. He made one of the biggest transitions I’ve seen in preparing himself for this season. He doesn’t even look like the same kid from the end of last season. You can describe him in three words: unselfish, versatile and athletic.”
