The Notre Dame-Bound QB Who Lit Up Kansas Before His Career Cut Short
Dayne Crist, the mobile gunslinger from Sherman Oaks who racked up 2,632 total high school yards (top-50 in California) and 3,448 passing yards with 33 TDs at Notre Dame over 2008-2010, brought elusiveness and arm talent to Kansas in 2011-12, flashing 304 yards vs. Stanford and multi-TD games amid injuries. His juke-and-escape athleticism and low-turnover efficiency (just 4 INTs in 351 college attempts early on) made him a tantalizing pro prospect, but knee issues derailed his NFL path post-transfer. A high-IQ leader with big-play flair—perfect for teams needing a resilient, dual-threat spark.
