The kid plays with heart. You can say that much.
That’s probably the best way to describe him! Like so many of these ISU transfers, he seems like a fantastic kid. We’re just about to start the season so I personally have to stop thinking about those guys as ISU players - they are now PSU and they all seem to be embracing it. From a football standpoint, there’s so much good buzz coming out from camp about Manske that I think he is likely our starting QB in 2027 and 2028. And that is very fortunate because as of this past spring, there was a lot of talk on different boards about having to spend millions in the portal on a starting QB for next year as the “heart condition” was out there, but the details were not.

The most important phrase in that article explains why PSU is elite when it comes to player safety.

“The two were patiently waiting for their next test, an echocardiogram — an ultrasound of the heart that’s not done at Iowa State …”
Agree 100%. It’s a bit surprising that this is not mandatory testing for all of ncaa football, especially in these litigious times.
