10 11 QUARTERBACK UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA

Kyle Trask threw for 4,283 yards and 43 touchdowns this season as he led one of the most explosive offenses in the country in the Florida Gators.

The Manvel, Texas native led the FBS this season in total touchdowns (46) and touchdown passes, while ranking second in passing yards.

Trask’s three touchdown passes against Alabama in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game made him the ninth player in FBS history to throw at least 43 touchdown passes through the first 11 games of a season. Of those nine, Trask is one of three to accomplish the feat with fewer than 50 attempts per game.

Trask set a single-season school record with five 400-yard passing games; he was one of two FBS players this year and one of two SEC players () since at least 1996 with five such games in a season.

Trask was responsible for 46 touchdowns (43 passing, 3 rushing), which is second on UF’s single season record list to Tim Tebow’s 55 (32 pass, 23 rush) from his 2007 Heisman-winning campaign. His 46 touchdowns are also tied with Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel (2013) for sixth on the SEC single-season record list.

Trask also broke the single-season school record for passing yards per game (356.9), narrowly finishing ahead of Rex Grossman’s 2001 season (354.2).

Trask earned a Master’s Degree in Sport Management. His parents are Melissa Charba and Michael Trask.
