BOOM! Jackson Presley ‘26

[John K]

Not to hijack the thread, but I guess that's an interesting question. Have the gris or Cats ever had a walk-on (preferred or otherwise) work himself into a starting position at QB?

Was mark desin a walk on?

Was Jake Bleskin a walk on?

How could have I forgotten Jake Bleskin!?!? He started several games over the course of a couple seasons, although that was only because of injuries.

when did Snake Bleskin play?

I believe he was a junior when CMR won the state championship in 2009, so me must have redshirted at MSU in 2011, and been active from 2012-15. It was 2014 when he filled in for Prukop against the griz, and threw five picks. I always felt bad for him, that he's probably most remembered for that one nightmare game, because he had a few a few very good games during his career, and was a very capable backup QB.

Bleskin led MSU to a big win over Idaho State in 2014. That game is on YouTube and it's a great game if you have time to burn. Brekke was playing with the flu and had a big TD late. Bleskin through a couple early picks but rebounded and was the driving force for the offense that day. Eyron Barnett, a 4-star db transfer from Univ. of Texas had a big pick. He and Prukop had a great duel for the QB job going into 2014.
