2016 FOOTBALL RECRUITING ISSUE himself but is very competitive on the football field. He has a great attitude to be successful, and he has a great attitude to take this to the next level." • Avon Head Coach Mark Bless: "He's very athletic. When he was a freshman he started on our varsity basketball team, so he's got some skills. He carries a lot of that ability over from the court to the football field. ... He can make all of the throws. He's got all of the tools without ques- tion. His arm strength is good, but he'll have to bulk up for the contact at the Big Ten level." • Rivals.com Midwest Recruiting Analyst Josh Helmholdt: "The first thing I noticed about him when I went to see him as a junior ... the kid is a gamer. When the game was on the line he took control of the team in the huddle. I watched him will his team back in a game that it looked like they were going to lose. That showed me a lot about his internal makeup. "He's a guy that has to develop. I want to see him more fundamentally sound. There's some inconsistency in his delivery that leads to a lack of ac- curacy too often, but his arm strength is off the charts. He has no issue get- ting the ball to any points on the field." • Tom Lemming Of Prep Football Report: "I had him as one of the top four players in Indiana, with both of the top two in the Indianapolis area going to Michigan [along with athlete Chris Evans]. He's a tall quarterback with good athleticism and all the tools. He's a little like Jim Harbaugh himself and probably picked the best coach to develop his game."
