This is the athletic football show's Prospects to Prosons.

Hello and welcome to Prospects to Pros presented by Invesco QQQ, the official ETF of the NCAA.

I am your host, Nate Tice.

We have a really fun one today. It's the

midway point of the season. So why not talk about some rookies? To help me do that is the one and only Mr. Bigboard himself, Dane Bruegler. How you doing today, Dane? I'm good. How are you? I'm doing very well. Doing very well. Nice. I like the midway point because it's nice doing the award stuff that was an easy

article idea for me last week so right I'm all about it right now and even with uh it's like

kind of the midpoint with NFL but even like in college you look at it and there's like three

weeks left and it's like oh wow this this season is winding down quickly. There's only so many games.

But November is such a fun month in college football. We had LSU, Alabama, this past weekend.

I mean, that USC Washington game was bonkers. But it seems like every week now, the next through Thanksgiving, we're going to have some really big games.

We'll touch on those a little bit later. That's fun. That's what's, always love the conference play. And we try to hint at that when we're watching, talk about some of these guys early, some of the prospects. We'll be focused more on pros for most of the show until the end of the show. But it's talking about prospects. It's like, wait until they get to conference play. And then we got some more games to check out and some better matchups to check out. And yeah, when you're in the thick of it, you kind of forget, like last Saturday, it was like I felt like every time time slot had a great game and other games ended up being entertaining. So that's a great shout out that November is a good call football season. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah. So today we're going to be going over the rookies who's standing out or we just want to give a shout out to about the midway point of the season. We did this

about quarter. Yeah, so today we're going to be going over the rookies who's standing out. We just want to give a shout out to about the midway point of the season. We did this about a quarter of the way, about a month ago. So just want to continue that trend. We're going to be started on offense. We'll go with quarterbacks first, the golden boy position. Dane, who's going to start off for you? I think there might be one guy, but anybody else you want to give a shout out to at the quarterback position.

I mean, this is the easiest pick of this. Dane, who's going to start off for you? I think there might be one guy, but anybody else you want to give a shout out to at the

quarterback position.

I mean, this is the easiest pick of this exercise, right?

I mean, there's one guy at the top, obviously, someone coming off a career performance

on Sunday, setting the rookie record for passing yards, game winning drive,

and more so than just the numbers was how he did it,

watching him just go to work.

It was so much fun.

And it just takes you back to watching him last year at Ohio State.
