Kyle Lauletta has never been anyone’s first choice at quarterback.
In seventh grade, he was third-string and had to wait two years for an opportunity.
In high school, he had to wait until his older brother graduated to get his chance. His older brother, Trey, incidentally was no slouch. He went on to play quarterback at Bucknell.
Colleges didn’t exactly bang down Lauletta’s door. He suffered a knee injury playing lacrosse and only two FBS schools (Toledo and Old Dominion) offered him scholarships. He chose Richmond, an FCS school, but as the story goes even there he had to throw a couple of times before the school offered him a scholarship.
