After tranferring the former Ute QB set Linfield passing records for single season: yardage- 4595,  TDs-61, tied completion % at  66.4 - Pass attempts-437 Completions-290,  and yards-per-game at   353.5.  He also holds records for Total Offense-4663.  I see some Jake Plummeresque qualities, though not quite the athlete or gambler.
