Casey Thompson
Throws it deep and dares you to make a play. The five seasons span three programs and three head coaches: Tom Herman, Steve Sarkisian and Mickey Joseph. The first career honor came in 2021: Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. One game to point at: 280 passing yards and 18 rushing yards against Monmouth — Week 1, 2023.
Play style
Go-for-it mentality with the arm to back it up — and the turnovers to live with.
