The Athletic: Big Ten post-spring QB outlook

[BleedGopher]

Per Scott:

Minnesota​

The Gophers opened the spring with a wide-open competition, but by the midpoint, redshirt freshman Drake Lindsey established himself as the likely starter. Lindsey, who completed four passes and a touchdown over three appearances in 2024, was supposed to compete with Georgia Tech transfer Zach Pyron. Lindsey outperformed him in spring practice, though, and Pyron transferred to South Alabama this week.

“Drake’s playing at a really high level,” Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck told reporters. “Probably at a higher level than any other young player I’ve ever had at that position.”

A lot of pressure will be on Drake to produce, but he might be the type to thrive under pressure.

Need the O-Line to be solid in front of him. Scary having a QB with very little experience but he had a great chance to learn under Brosmer last year so hopefully that that translates to success for him this year.

I hope he becomes the Kaliakmanis we always wanted.

Hard to be a good QB, particularly when you're young, when you're running for your life the whole game, or the opposing team does not need to respect the run game

We'll see how much Max taught him and how much he absorbed.
