Is it football season yet? I sure can't wait for you to get another shot too Patrick!
And I just can't wait to see Patrick Towles throw the football again. Oh come on, you know he's gonna be picked to be our QB again this year. No doubt about it!
Towles can do everything, passing, rushing, QB sneak. The clever plays they came up with last year, it was beautiful.
With his 6'5", 241 lbs. frame, he looks more like a wide receiver. When he stands behind the line of scrimage, he dwarfs his offensive line. Heck, he dwarfs the other team's defensive line most of the time too.
He might need to mature still as a player. But he doesn't seem to fear anything or anybody. No matter what the situation, he is ready to play, he never backs down. When he throws the football, he is spot on. He seems to have an eagle eye to go with a sure and strong arm and the football usually falls right where he wants it to. That is exactly what our Kentucky Football team needs again this year.
It seems that Mel Kiper believes that Towles is going to be named as our QB this year too. He has already named Towles as a top 5 Underclassmen QB. Here is what he said about Towles:
“The numbers won’t jump out at you, but the size (6-5, 241 pounds) and natural ability will. Don’t let that size make you think Towles lacks athleticism, either. The former high school high jumper can really move. With new offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson’s arrival from West Virginia, there will be high expectations for this offense, and the return of four starters on the O-line will help.”
Here's his stats from last year:
