When Tyler O’Connor pledged to the Michigan State Spartans for their 2013 football recruiting class I said at the time, “O’Connor is the best high school quarterback that I have ever seen.” To this date I have seen several good ones since, but still none better than him.
It was no shock that he was selected by his teammates to lead this team. He is a natural leader and gifted athlete. So what was his reaction upon being named captain by his teammates?
“Putting official tags and titles on things obviously does mean something, but in the end I have had the mentality of the starting quarterback and the mentality of being a leader or a captain on this team regardless.
