Per Randy:

“Drake’s playing at a really high level,” Fleck said. “He’s probably at a higher level than any young player I’ve ever had at that position, but I will say the other quarterbacks are playing extremely well, too.”

Dylan Wittke, a redshirt sophomore transfer from Virginia Tech, took most of the second-team snaps Tuesday, followed by redshirt sophomore Max Shikenjanski. Zach Pyron, the redshirt junior transfer from Georgia Tech, and true freshman Jackson Kollock saw fewer reps Tuesday, but Fleck said he’s been spreading around the practice time.

“We give guys different days where everybody’s getting something different, where everybody’s playing with different guys,” Fleck said. “Now, what you do with your opportunity is up to you. I’m a firm believer in the old-school approach that I don’t make the depth chart, the players do, and nobody wins the job in the spring.”


Go Gophers!!
 




I mean, the first few games we saw of Athan, he looked genuinely quite good. The next season though… woof.
I remember watching him before he got hurt in the bowl game against Syracuse… I thought he was gonna be our first great generational quarterback…. My kids remind me of my take on this on a regular basis.LOL
