Kyle Trask, Mac Jones enjoy unlikely rises to Heisman contenders
Kyle has certainly done that and has had as fine a season as anybody in the country.โDitto for Jones. Trask has already set the school season record for touchdown passes despite the shortened, SEC-only schedule. Trask is second nationally in passing yards per game (360.3), one spot ahead of Jones at 345.9. Jones said he looks up to Trask as both a person and a player, especially since both opted to stick it out instead of transferring. โI definitely have a lot of respect for Kyle, for how heโs handled his situation, too,โ the 'Bama quarterback said.
Kyle Trask leads Florida into venue that inspired his name

So Trask had plenty of loved ones around him rooting against the stateโs flagship university in Austin. On Saturday, some of those relatives might be a little torn between their beloved and 21st-ranked Aggies (1-1) and Trask and the No. Trask was a freshman at Manvel High at the time, in the early stages of a seven-year stretch as a backup quarterback. A year after replacing Franks at Kentucky and finishing with the most TD passes (25) for a Florida quarterback since Tebowโs senior season in 2010, Trask leads the Southeastern Conference with 10 TD tosses in two games.
