The former Minnesota and Rutgers quarterback has thrown for nearly 700 yards and 6 touchdowns in 2 games
As a senior at Mankato West (Minn) HS, Philip Nelson was one of the most-highly regarded quarterback prospects in the nation and named Mr. Football in Minnesota.
In fact, well-known recruiting guru Tom Lemming ranked him as the nation’s No. 2 Pro Style Quarterback, No. 40 overall player and National Sleeper of the Year in the Class of 2012.
The extremely talented signal-caller opted to “stay home” and play his college football for the University of Minnesota.
During his true freshman campaign, the highly-touted Nelson started the final seven games and displayed that immense talent.
