Rhett Lashlee is regarded as one of the most innovative young minds offensively in college football. Lashlee spent the majority of his career playing for Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn and as an assistant on Mulzahn’s staffs at Arkansas State and Auburn. Lashlee spoke about his influences on the Joe Rose show Friday morning.
David Wilson of the Miami Herald examined Lashlee’s beginnings as a quarterback playing for Malzahn in the late 1990s and early 2000s in Springdale, Arkansas. Twice as a prep QB in Malzahn’s system Lashlee threw the ball 71 times in a game.
