Minnesota names true freshman, walk on, Zack Annexstad - starter

MAIZEandBLUE09 · Aug 20, 2018

This will make Annexstad only the second true freshman walk-on QB to start an opener for a P5 program, after Baker Mayfield at TTU

Let's not go overboard. They started the season with
4 FRrs and 1 true frosh.

It's not like they are deep or experienced at that position

Out of necessity or is he just better than the competition? If it's the latter, slap a scholly on the boy.

Also, I wouldn't exactly be excited about this as a Minnesota fan.

I went back and looked at their recruiting. Given I have no deep knowledge of if these guys are still on the team but in the last four classes they've recruited 4 or so QB recruits, all in the 3 star range. But still. It seems really bad that a true freshman walk on is your best option.

This kid's dad played in the NFL as a QB.

Taking the Wisconsin walk-on program to the extreme. Hope it works out for them.

I wouldn't put any stock into the "last four classes," considering Fleck has only been there for 1 full class, as this is his second year with the program...

"Hell, our 247 team rated him as an 86, aka a mid to high-level three star quarterback, and he decided to walk-on at Minnesota over scholarship offers from Illinois, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and a couple of others. Why? Here's what he told me last fall. "

Meanwhile, the guy who should be there QB is starting for CMU.

He realized Fleck is a megadouche real quick.
