But, perhaps he's grown up and wants to finish in college career on a positive note and just needs a place to do it.
When he came in and relieved Tate he did a great job. I was really impressed.
The next year he was making rookies mistakes and tried too hard to make things happen. But I figured he got his year of seasoning under his belt and Iowas O-line was terrible because of injuires.
This last year he was making the same rookie mistakes.
I just dont know about him because of past performance.
I know all about his HS stuff behind walker etc but that doesnt equate to anything on a bigger stage. Look at Mertens.
But like I said before--who knows---may be a different level of competition and coaching staff-system may prove beneficial for him.
But Ive seen him play alot and thats why Im gun shy on him.
