Quotable
“[An open depth chart] was definitely a huge priority for me. I have two years, so I have to go somewhere where I have to do what I have to do and I can play. You have all three of the starting spots graduating, so they need someone to come in and fill a role. That worked out perfectly.” — Bishop Fitzgerald
2023 Projection
