Coach Tony Confer said, “Liam returns as our starting Quarterback with one year in our offensive system. Liam is a natural leader on the field because of how hard he plays on Friday nights. He will sacrifice his body to get the extra yards and he uses his legs and athletic ability to make big plays when the pocket breaks down around him. Liam is a dual threat QB that has a high football IQ and could have a big season if we can protect for him up front. He threw for almost 900 yards and rushed for over 500 yards last season. Liam will be looked upon to start for us in the defensive secondary as well as possibly take over the kicking duties in 2024.”
