Jimmy Laughrea

Boise State's newest quarterback is 6-2, taller than most former Broncos at that position. What impresses me most about him is his footwork--the Boise State coaches said the same thing tonight at the LOI Day show at the Stueckle Center. He also has a nice touch. On one throw in his highlight reel, he floated the ball softly over the defender to his receiver who caught it in stride. Many so-called experts look at zip on the ball and certainly that is important. But on many throws, you have to have "touch" rather than "zip". Only the best can do that and Laughrea has it.
