Former high school quarterback Valdez, now All-MAC linebacker at Bowling Green with the NFL in his sights.
Braxton Miller (Houston) and Terrell Pryor (Cleveland) are former college quarterbacks currently trying to transition to the wide receiver position in the NFL. Tim Tebow is a former Heisman Trophy winning quarterback at Florida, who is making a run at playing professional baseball. They've got nothing on Austin Valdez.
Valdez came to Bowling Green as part of their 2013 recruiting class as a quarterback from Sylvania Southview High School. He threw for over 2,000 yards and added another 1,000 yards on the ground his senior year at Southview, and led his team to a pair of conference championships.
