Indiana | Hometown: Oakville, Canada | HT: 6042 | WT: 220 | 40 time: N/A | Hand: 0958 | Arm: 3034 | Wing: 7518
Five-year starter. Spent four seasons at Ohio prior to transferring to Indiana in 2024 where he earned All-Big 10 honors. Also earned All-MAC honors twice and was the 2022 All-MAC Offensive Player of the Year. He leveled up and maintained his level of play and production seamlessly while leading Indiana to its best season in school history. He did so while playing on a torn ACL. Will bring the kind of leadership and functional intelligence to the group that will raise the floor of the room. Clearly knows how to read a defense and will play within the structure of the offense consistently. Accurate thrower who can put his release on constant repeat. Will throw receivers open. Can see the throwing lanes and aiming spots before they appear. Throws a catchable ball with easy touch and tight spirals. Knows how to get through traffic in the pocket with efficient and flexible footwork. Productive against pressure. Does not have enough zip on his balls that need to travel more than intermediate distance. Passes hang in the air too long. Throwing the ball deep appears labored. Will push and aim rather than drive the ball with his hips. Will not be a dual threat. Will turn 25 as a rookie and lacks upside beyond backup status, but his experience and ball protection do make him attractive as a second stringer.
2024 Stats: 222/320, 3042 yds, 69.4%, 29 TD, 5 INT, 2 rushing TD, 176.0 QB rating. Draft projection: 4th/5th round
