I was not aware he wasn't the starting QB at his school.
I like the fact that he's sticking it out to compete in Texas as well as knowing he'll be competing when he gets to Gainesville.
That tells me he ain't skeered.

He is listed as a 2-3 star. The kid has arm talent. In one of his highlights, he threw a 40 yard ball on a rope off of his back foot. Still, he is a 2 star. So....

We beat out Houston Baptist for him.

Sounds like that big 3 star kid we got out of Tennessee a few years ago. He never played a down and ultimately transferred.

I am going to assume (hope) that Coach Mac is a good evaluator of talent. Fortunately I have more faith in him than the previous guy.

We've got plenty of room in this class to take a chance on a kid with potential. If nothing else, he'll add some needed depth.

I talked about this kid in the other QB thread. I was pretty certain he was going to commit after getting an offer at FNL. There's a reason that he's a 2 star. And it's because of limited opportunity:

Interestingly enough…

After last night's FNL, we offered 2 star QB Kyle Trask. 6'5.

So why a 2 star if he did so well last night and has the size? He plays behind 4* D'Eriq King, 4* DT/QB committed to TCU. So he's had limited opportunities.

Because he looked good playing flag football? Have I been reading this correctly?

You did. He must've been spectacular on FNL because I'm not sure for what other reason did. It seems that we're taking 2 this year. Plus we've already gotten the commitment of Jake Allen who may be a 5 star for 2017 when all is said and done.
