Luke Falk listed as Top-10 quarterback by Pro Football Focus

The 2016 Washington State football season is under two weeks away and the excitement around Pullman Is electrifying. Junior quarterback Luke Falk has continued to gain plenty of attention during the offseason after a season he led the Cougars to a 9-4 season. In an article by Pro Football Focus on Monday, Luke Falk was listed as the 8th best quarterback for the upcoming season. Of the 15 quarterbacks included, three of them are from Pac-12 schools.

Finishing last season with 4,561 passing yards completing 447 of 644 passing attempts he led the Cougars to their first bowl win since 2003 with a Sun Bowl victory against the Miami Hurricanes. The stellar 2015 campaign Falk had, has landed him on the Davey O'Brien, Maxwell, Walter Camp, and the Manning award watch lists for the upcoming season as well as generated quiet talks about being a Heisman contender.

Falk will be returning to a stacked wide receiver group that is very hungry to show the rest of the conference and the nation what they are capable of. As Cougar fans we saw receivers Gabe Marks, River Cracraft, and Robert Lewis and running back Keith Harrington land themselves as the top-5 leading receivers last season combining for 2,609 yards. This group as well as many newcomers will continue to put up amazing numbers this next season.

The other two Pac-12 quarterbacks on this list are UCLA Sophomore Josh Rosen at #10 and Washington Sophomore Jake Browning.
