The Cougar football team took the field for its second scrimmage of the spring Saturday, and the quarterback competition appeared to get a bit tighter in the process.

But the redshirt freshman from St. Petersburg, Florida, is a more natural passer and forces the defense to stick to every receiver because of his ability to throw accurately on the run, a byproduct of his advanced footwork.
