Yes he did. He would be the 4th lost QB during Gradkowski's time. Council is now at a I-AA school, where somehow he had the grades to play.

Gone are:

Cedric Stevens (went I-AA)
Marcus Faulds (went back to Canada I believe)
Cullen Finnerty (went DII - GVSU)
Marques Council (Flunked out and went I-AA)

Of those four, three left because they weren't going to play and 1 left because he was academically ineligible and decided to go the I-AA route to get his grades up enough to play.

Did Cole Peace ever show up on campus?

Oh yeah. That is another one. But he left within a month or two because he was homesick so I wouldn't say he left because he didn't see a chance of playing at UT.

OK how about this for current.

Jeff Samardzija excels in the end zone and on the pitcher's mound for Notre Dame. Per Notre Dame newspaper. Evidently got permission from Willingham a couple years ago to play both sports at a high level. I bet there are a lot more as well. Chip Hilton is alive and well!!!!
