Three days before Mississippi State passed the fifth LSU and Bulldog’s new head coach, Mike Leach, has not yet given his approval to Stanford Quarterback KJ Costello. When the chef published his official intensity chart on Monday, Costello and his partner Will Rogers had the secret. “Or “in the middle.
While Leach said it was “likely” that Costello would get the go-ahead, he alluded to time spent at the center and the fact that any of the players performed well in the fall camp.
LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini expects to see tandem on Saturday. However, unless Rogers gets into the tiger’s defense, Costello will get most of the shots.
Before leaving Stanford this year and landing in Starkville, Costello wrote a fake resume on Palo Alto.
Twice the team captain, the 6-foot-5-inch, 225-pounder completed 269 out of 413 (65%) Passes. for 3,540 yards with 29 touchdowns The only genuine problem was that their 11 interceptions were the vital maxim at the 2018 campaign convention.
More important things were expected last season, until Costello suffered a hand injury and played only five games in which he finished 102 of 167 passes for 1,038 yards and six goals against 3 selections.
Some NFL Draft analysts credit Costello with the first of the 2021 NFL Draft, adding CBS analyst Ton Fornelli in a fake Draft in May as the fourteenth overall pick.
“Costello, a top rookie who came out of the best school whose career got off to an impressive start at Stanford,” Fornelli wrote. “After a bad year in 2019, he will play in Mike Leach’s attack in 2020 in the state of Mississippi. It has the length that NFL groups love and a strong arm. It’s not that other one from Philip Rivers, that the Colts just signed as a flexible agent. “
Analysts see a guy with a prototypical length and an arm enough to make all the pitches. Comparison with speed and athletics in SEC defenses will reveal much more than Costello’s last 3 years opposed to the Pac-12 competition.
Leach is as inspired through the intellectual team as others are through Costello’s physical characteristics.
“His strengths are that he is a student of the game,” Leach said at camp. “The other thing is, he’s the same guy with each and every shot, he’s not a guy who’s shaking. This creates a point of stability”. with offense. “
Mississippi State cornerman Martin Emerson agrees with Leach’s assessment after fighting his field of attack.
“KJ has more than enough skill to be our beginner quarterback,” he said. “The older boy who is, intervened and took over the team. He simply guides us and we stick to him. Us in it. I’m in a position to see what he can do. I accept as true to him, it’s the QB-1. He’s got this job for a reason. “

Before signing with Stanford in 2017 elegance as professional style pin No. 3 in the country at the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, Costello launched for 8222 yards and 62 touchdowns at Santa Margarita Catholic High School in California.
