Jack Colletto, OSU LB (former QB)

[Evergr8ful]

Pulled this from the "Oregonlive" website, "Jack Colletto could see as much time as a short yardage quarterback as he does inside linebacker."

btw the articles a decent read, https://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/...s-and-losers-as-beavers-head-into-purdue.html

In OSU's season finally last year vs. Arizona State he had "six rushes for 44 yards, converted four first downs, scored two touchdowns and added a two-point conversion run." YIKES!

Anybody know if he's related to form Purdue HC, Jim Colletto?

For clarity, you should probably state an OSU LB to contrast to The OSU.

Holy cow. Lining up a LB at QB??

That's a bunch of gimmicky crap, and only weak-@ss programs do that.

(Am I doing this right??)

Unless it's a sweet flea flicker. Or a fake kneel down before halftime. Those never get old.

Jack couldn't quite get the playing time at QB that he wanted, but is a tremendous athlete. Soooooooo, he became a linebacker!
Every time he lined up behind center last year we all kept thinking it would be a fake run/pass something, but it was always just a short yardage (successful) run. But knowing he can throw, it keeps the D honest.
Same thing when Johnny Hekker was our punter, he was originally a QB so the dual-threat was effective.

Jim Colletto is 76 years old...I wasn't implying he had a 20yo son.

Jim Colletto is 76 years old...I wasn't implying he had a 20yo son.

i didn't think you were ... i was just sharing what i found if anybody remembered his kids names ... which by the way, none of which are Bert ... so at best he's a distant relation of Jim.
