This might have been discussed already, but is DeShone a pro-style or dual-threat QB?
Rivals has him as a dual, but 247 has him as a pro.
He ran for over 100 yards in the game we are voting on so...

It's tough knowing Central has beaten St. Francis for a decade straight, I remember the hype of their freshman squad my freshman year, then we went out and thumped 'em like 24-6. Awesome times! Their QB was supposed to be the real deal but died tragically five days after we played them.
I've never been a fan of Central. They can beat St. John's alllllll of the time though.![]()
I didn't know Central was now D-III. They should be undefeated and in my opinion the big favorite in their region, no?
He's not as fast as I would've hoped. Ran in the 4.9s at The Opening. He's an athlete, but far more pro style vs dual threat at the next level. Was really hoping he'd at least run in the 4.7s.
He has a LOT of work to do before he is anywhere close to a polished QB.
Where did you get that they are Division III? I think they are still DII. And I am not sure they couldn't win it this year as DI. I mean that. There team is for real, front to back. They have a real offensive line, their defense has five to seven post-graduate hitters. Just nasty. And they have the two quickest guys that I have seen in the league at QB and RB.
Lax, buddy,
I gots to tell you, watching the shows and listening to the heads, sometimes has it's drawbacks. I have seen DeShone and Everett play in person, more than once. I would believe today's DeShone, is faster and quicker than any Everett.
And Chuck Martin was working on texting when Wade was running, so if you see an offer out of the blue to this kid, you heard it here first! If it isn't clear, Kaizer and Wade's numbers were from the first half, if it wasn't clear.
Trivia question; how many years did Ben Roethlisberger start at QB for Findlay?
Everett isn't a burner either, just very elusive. So Kizer being as quick as or quicker than Golson doesn't necessarily mean he is any faster than the 4.9 time that he ran at the Opening.
Wasn't there a report than when the ND QBs ran 40 times last Spring that Golson ran a 4.8 or a 4.9?
Yeah Golson isn't fast just agile/quick.
If Kizer runs a 4.9, Golson is faster than him. Also, Golson has allegedly added 12 pounds of muscle, dropped body fat, and dropped .2 off of his 40 from working the past few months. One semester removed from Longo and he's getting shredded.

Not sure where you guys got that Central was D-III. I went to St. John's and I thought we were both in the city league. I think they are D-II.

Central was DII up until this year. OHSAA added a big school division in football, and Central is now DIII. Central and SJJ aren't in the city league any longer, they left and are in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference which was formed maybe 4 years ago.
Wow thanks, I didn't know that.
yeah when Toledo Public was going through all of their budget cuts and threatening to cut sports, the non TPS schools in the TCL jumped ship and picked up Findlay, Fremont Ross, and a few other schools like that. TCL is just sad any more.
