When Dwayne Haskins Jr. steps on campus at Ohio State in June with the rest of the incoming freshman football players, he will be at least the third-string quarterback.
That’s a lot of pressure, especially considering the way Ohio State has relied on its QBs in recent seasons. But Haskins’ high school coach, Pat Cilento of The Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland, said his departing protege is up to the challenge.
“No. 1, he loves pressure,” Cilento said.
As an example, he referred to the Maryland state title game in 2014 when Bullis was down by four points with 1:51 left.
