“Frank is really bright and really competitive. He is probably one of the smartest couple of guys I have ever coached regarding his understanding of the offense we run.” - OC Dave Patenaude, 8/20/18
“If your quarterback, the face of your program, is a true tough guy, then you will probably have a tough football team. Frank is that. He is tough. He is a great leader, he’s a great teammate. And for our team to feel so strongly about him to give him a single-digit that early, I think is special.” - HC Geoff Collins, 8/28/18
