Money quote: The most notable thing we’ve seen on the internet is Anthony Queeley catching a ball over Sweetwood in the 2019 spring game (remember when ‘Cuse had spring games? Fun).

Queeley leaped for a back-shoulder ball and reached his arms over the helmet of walk-on defensive back John Sweetwood to snare the pass from Rex Culpepper.

What movie would Dino recommend for him?: I bet many people wouldn’t peg Jim Halpert to become an acclaimed film director and actor, but that’s exactly what John Kransinski has become. Both “A Quiet Place” and “A Quiet Place Part II” have received high praise from critics and movie-goers alike.
