Lamaison officially named UTEP starting quarterback
It’s finally official.
Nick Lamaison will be UTEP’s starting quarterback for the 2011 season.
UTEP coach Mike Price made the announcement after practice.
“I think he’s the best. He throws a crisp ball; he throws an accurate ball; he takes care of the ball and makes good decisions,” Price said. “He doesn’t fumble the ball or throw picks and that is the kind of quarterback we want to have.”
Price said his leadership over the summer led to the decision.
?I put a lot of hard work in. It?s really paid off,? Lamaison said. ?I?m really happy with coach?s decision. I think I can be really good for this team.?
