He was giving Rick Mirer legit competition for the starting job after Tony Rice graduated. His collarbone was broken in the Blue-Gold game and he never got another chance at the job.

He had a pretty good senior season as QB at West Virginia, including an upset of the Miami Hurricanes with a last minute TD pass. Played in the CFL for a bit I think.

He played 1 game in the CFL and some in the Arena

He did play briefly in the CFL and then in the WLAF for a while. I remember seeing an interview with a European fan who was asked why he liked the Barcelona Dragons, and he responded that he liked them because of Tony Rice and Notre Dame.
True. What am I missing, not sure how that fits

I always followed Kelchner and Powlus closer than most as they grew up in the town next to mine.

George Curry rolled out a lot of talent in those days *

Why would Kelly recruit a running back?

They just take up a spot that an “athlete” needs
