Minium: Taylor Heinicke is Returning to ODU to Finish His Degree, and Perhaps Help the Monarch Football Team

By Harry Minium

Quarterback Taylor Heinicke was the best and most entertaining football player ever to don Old Dominion University blue, and if you never saw him play, you truly missed a thing of beauty.

He set passing records that may never be broken, but just saying that understates what he did for the University and the football program.

He came off the bench five games into his freshman year in 2010 and led a program in just its third season into the FCS Top 10. He did it again in 2012 and then, in 2013 and 2014, he led the Monarchs into a successful FBS debut.
