per the Indy Star:

Diamont, a dual-threat quarterback listed at 174 pounds, has spent much of his Indiana career running. This season he has been deployed in a wildcat formation with running back Tyler 'Big Bacon' Natee and he hasn't been one to shy away from contact.

“One of his gifts is his ability to run but he's a small guy and he plays with a lot of heart and a lot of courage,” Wilson said.

But his play style, for a player of his stature, comes at a price.

Diamont didn't put a specific number on how many concussions he has sustained in his career but he said it's "a lot," many of which occurred in high school.

“I think some of those hits are adding up on him,” Wilson said.
