OSU's newest QB Gunnar Hoak brought along some unintentional comedy.

I decided to search for his Kentucky Biography; it's still preserved on Kentucky's website.

While his actual redshirt year contains nuggets of minutia for the diehard CFB fan's ingestion, for his actual R-FS year, of which he didn't play, Kentucky's website doesn't even attempt creativity when penning his narrative.  

Yep, in 2017:'Practiced with the team.' 

It's not even a complete sentence.

The Full Bio is Below... And, his favorite food is pizza.  I wonder which Campus pizzeria will be his favorite?

2018 - Sophomore

Saw action in five games, completing 13 of 26 passes for 167 yards and two scores
Was 3-of-8 for 27 yards in the win over Missouri
Entered late in the second quarter against Central Michigan for his first collegiate action ... Drove the Wildcats to a touchdown on his first possession, capped by a 24-yard scoring strike to David Bouvier ... Finished the day 4-of-9 for 50 yards
Completed 4 of 5 passes for 77 yards and a touchdown vs. Murray State, the second TD pass of his career
