Dan DeBoeuf

Quarterback
Junior
6-0, 180, Lemont, Ill.

You could almost make the case that Dan saved our 2007 season…in a backup role, initially, he became our starting quarterback and showed great leadership ability…he competes very hard and gets the most out of his play…I’m very comfortable with Dan as our starting quarterback.
