Coaches Q&A with Pat Reece: 

Will he play defense?

“On defense he probably would be one of our best tacklers. But as a quarterback you don’t want to risk getting him hurt. Unless we need him, he won’t play too much on the defensive side.”

 

What are his strengths?

“He is a mobile quarterback. He can run and get around the corner. The thing about him is he can sit in the pocket or roll out. So, he can hurt you with his feet or passing the ball. He is great at getting everyone involved in the game. He is a smart player and makes good decisions and he is good at running the hurry up offense. Sometimes we do that different times in the game to tire out the defense. He makes the calls off those plays.”

 

Does he play any where for you on the field?

“He is also a good receiver too. So don’t be surprised if you see him out there at times. He is very athletic.”
