2005 Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 selection...2004 Honorable Mention
All-Pac-10 selection...Had an outstanding senior season before breaking his
ankle against Arizona on October 22nd...Completed 64 percent of his passes
for 2,406 yards and 19 touchdowns in an injury-shortened '05...Just the
second QB in Oregon history to throw for more than 2,000 yards in three
consecutive seasons...A drop-back passer who moves well in the pocket and has
excellent throwing mechanics...Proven winner who makes quick decisions and is
a true leader...Throws well on the run and shows pin-point accuracy in the
short passing game...Does not have great size or athleticism...Arm strength
is questionable and he struggles with accuracy on the deep route...Will need
to further prove that he is fully recovered from his ankle injury despite a
good showing at the combine...Could be a solid pick for a team looking to add
depth at the quarterback position.
