Nick Fitzgerald led the SEC in total offense as a first-year starter last season, and as good as he was in 2016, his personal quarterback coach said he can get much better.
Fitzgerald spent time this summer working with quarterback coach Ken Mastrole in south Florida. Mastrole also worked with Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen.
“If he works on certain functional things, he’s going to be a heck of a quarterback,” Mastrole told GN. “He’s got things that you physically cannot teach, like that’s genetically programmed in you.”
Fitzgerald threw for 2,423 yards and 21 touchdowns,and rushed for 1,375 yards and 16 more scores.
