Former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga quarterback Jacob Huesman is in Nashville this weekend competing in a rookie tryout for the Tennessee Titans.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder, who did not receive a contract after a similar tryout with the Pittsburgh Steelers, said today he felt his first day’s performance “went great.”
“I’m getting a good grasp of the offense and making good reads and throws,” Huesman said in a text, adding that he is trying out at quarterback.
UTC’s most decorated quarterback ever threw for 8,197 yards and 64 touchdowns in his four-year career, leading the Mocs to back-to-back Football Championship Subdivision playoff appearances. He also ran for 4,051 yards and 43 touchdowns, leaving the Mocs with 10 school records.
The Titans’ tryout continues Saturday and Sunday.
