Former Brigham Young Cougars quarterback Jake Heaps has announced that he plans to finish his college football career as a Kansas Jayhawk.
Heaps will sit out next year, 2012, per NCAA regulations. He will have two years of eligibility remaining and is expected to start for Kansas in 2013 and 2014.
Kansas recently hired former Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis to be the schools head football coach.
I assume that Heaps is comfortable with this decision and feels Kansas is the best place for him. My gut tells me Heaps will end up no better off than Ben Olson.
Hopefully, I am wrong. After watching Weis’ two quarterbacks at Notre Dame fall in the NFL draft, and then fail to materialize as starting NFL quarterbacks, it is really hard to think Heaps will end up any better.
As this chapter closes for Heaps and BYU, I again wish Heaps best of luck.

Who said he needed to start in the NFL to be successful? I love how Heaps doubters keep raising the bar when it looks like he might succeed.
ReplyDeleteQuinn and Clausen were 1st and 2nd round picks and are doing quite well financially. Either one could materialize as starters in the NFL.
If he ends up getting drafted at all, Heaps will have ended up BYU's loss and Kansas' gain.
Yeah BYU's loss because of course the only thing that matters to a college team is how their players end up in the nfl do you realize that right when peyton manning went to the nfl tennesee won a championship but losing payton was probably a big loss how well a player does in the nfl has no bearing on how the player does in college and heaps was not good at all at byu he missed wide open throws and at times looked like he didn't even know what a football was
ReplyDeletePunctuation is a good thing.
