He's okay. Definitely better than Bazooka Joe. Can run. Loved the stiff arm he put on a KU player.
Needs to work on his passing game and footwork. Can't hold onto the ball forever. KSU lost some big yardage due to that. I'm aware he hasn't played since his SR year in HS (close to 3 years I believe, due to 2 injuries and a RS year) so I'll give him a slight pass on that. Still need to get aggressive on his passes sometimes.
If he can improve his passing skills to at least close to Collin Klein, this offense will be more dangerous.
Lastly, he will definitely need to hit the weight room and put on some serious muscle mass on him. I cringe whenever he runs, fully aware he might get lit up by someone who's 2 times bigger than him.
