Before the 2018 season only the diehards knew who Aidan O’Connell was. In fact, here is what I said in his 2018 Countdown to Kickoff profile when he was a true freshman:
Will today’s player ever take a snap in his career? That is the long gamble of the walk-on quarterback. It has to be rough going into the season knowing you’re about 6th on the depth chart. That is where O’Connell finds himself. Elijah Sindelar and David Blough are obviously the frontrunners at the position. Nick Sipe and Jack Plummer are battling for the No.
