Did you know that Zack Annexstad is set to become on the second ever walk-on freshman quarterback to start for a Power 5 team when he takes his first snap Thursday night? In case you didnt’t ESPN’s Sportscenter is here to help.
This being a national interview at all, its no surprise that ESPN doesn’t know the full story of Annexstad’s arrival at Minnesota and made it sound like he just came to an open try-out and then beat everyone out, but even incorrect publicity is good publicity. In fact, this i such good publicity for the Minnesota Golden Gophers than coach PJ Fleck broke one of his usual rules in that freshmen are not supposed to talk to the media.
