dual-threat EKU QB with record-setting flashes and a gunslinger edge
In the 2016 season, Bennie Coney gave Eastern Kentucky a big-play quarterback who could stretch defenses with both his arm and legs: he threw for 1,405 yards and 8 touchdowns in seven games, and his career totals left him third in program passing yards (5,061). He’s the kind of fit that can change a game fast—Coney set EKU records with a 464-yard outing and also hit 417 yards in another 2015 outburst, but the tradeoff is volatility, as interceptions followed him too. If you want upside, tempo, and a QB who can create chaos, he’s intriguing.
