FWIW, as his note indicates he was put on scholarship last year.  

Well yeah but I don't think most people knew that. I know i didn't. Just figured he was still a walk on

I think he has a solid shot of taking the job this year. I think he's got a better arm/release than Fine and is equally as mobile, plus he might be the smartest guy on the team

I just wanna win, don't give a Rats behind who starts.  Also FWIW this ship doesn't count against a class, as he had been here 2 years previously. He has also been granted another year of eligibility.  By my count he has this season, and next season so he could potentially be a 2 year starter. 

2016:
• Made his North Texas debut on 11/12 at WKU, going 0-for-1 passing and carried once for no gain

2015:
• Did not see any action

2014:
• Did not appear for the Mean Green

2013:
• Redshirted first year on campus, after walking on following the spring semester at Oklahoma State

High School:
• Attended Heritage Hall HS, and then went to Choate Rosemary Hall, a preparatory school in Connecticut
• Threw for over 1,500 yards as a senior at Heritage Hall

Good for him. He deserves it for the work he puts in.

Excited to see him compete for the starting job

without a doubt.

I think he has a solid shot of taking the job this year. I think he's got a better arm/release than Fine (yep) and is equally as mobile(about a half step faster), plus he might be the smartest guy on the team (yep, already has his degree and working on his masters)

I assumed he was on scholarship, nice to have it confirmed.  By the way, McCarney moving on was not a good thing for walk ons.  

It was more the fact that he was a sub-6 foot quarterback than walkon on the McCarney leaving benefit.

      He's "cleaning" something. Briskly, it appears. But I don't think it's the bell.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      Ask UTA how that worked out for them.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      The P2 schools make 5x our annual revenue. Five times! And most of their revenue is from media deals, ticket sales and donations while our revenue is mostly from student fees. This article mentions a possible 22% revenue distribution to players (collectively bargained pro sports are closer to 50%.). As far as I can tell, our revenue from all sources is running at around $44M annually so 22% is about $9.6M that would go to the players. Where would this money come from? What would we have to cut to get it? Could we increase donations to cover that? I doubt it. I don’t think that you can ask students to pay the salaries of other “students” playing sports. That is not right. I wouldn’t have an issue with the players being compensated via media deals, ticket sales and alumni donations. But at North Texas, that ain’t big bucks. I just worry that the train has left the station on competing in football. Especially since there are teams in the P2 who can afford to pay their BACKUP quarterback more than our entire NIL budget. And every good player on our football team last season has left our school for more money at other schools. At that point, why even pretend that we can compete for a national championship in football? And if you can’t win, why not play something else? Let’s find a different level with a sustainable model that provides an opportunity to really compete. Basketball is a different story because you can put all of your resources into a rotation of just 8 players. And I do believe that we can still compete at a national level in basketball.
