The long way round: Grant Kingsley II goes for 142

Grant Kingsley II QB
Copperheads

Grant Kingsley II had 142 yards. He was an academic transfer who arrived at Saint Ambrose to study engineering. He is 29, and he is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. It counts the same as anybody else's.

Across eight seasons: 11,506 yards from scrimmage, 159 touchdowns, 124 games. He got to 2,184 once. Not this time.

He is from Oakland, California. In another life he played the trombone well enough to be offered a scholarship for it.

The club is 1-0. Marquez Langston is new.

One more thing: he answers every question in exactly one sentence.
