Great Expectations: Driskel to bring hype, comparisons to UF
By TOM GREEN | Nov. 22, 2010LAKELAND — With just minutes remaining in his senior season, Jeff Driskel took a snap from his own 9-yard line and dropped back to pass. As Lakeland High defenders bore down on him, the four-star quarterback rolled out to his left to avoid pressure. Running out of time and room, he shed one defender in the backfield and jetted down the left sideline before juking a defensive back in the Dreadnaughts’ secondary. Ninety-one yards later, Driskel accounted for his fifth touchdown of the night, and what would be his last for Oviedo Hagerty High.
