from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

The Youngstown State quarterback who racked up 4,702 total yards and 53 total touchdowns to win the "Heisman Trophy of the FCS" is a hometown kid (from 15 miles away). His father is the only QB in YSU history to direct the Penguins to two national titles. So, did Beau grow up always wanting be a QB? Did he always want to play for YSU?
