Although he's played in games at the college level, JT Shrout had some catching up to do this spring when he joined the Colorado football team. As the Buffaloes crossed the mid-point of spring practice on Wednesday, however, Shrout is making a good impre ssion. "For a newcomer, he's behind the eight ball a little bit but he's done a great job, studying, really putting in the time in the offseason to be comfortable at this point in spring ball," CU quarterbacks coach Danny Langsdorf said Wednesday after t he Buffs' eighth practice of spring. A transfer from Tennessee, Shrout enrolled at CU in January. On Wednesday, the Division I council reportedly approved a one-time transfer exemption, making Shrout eligible to play this fall. While that was expected, i t boosts the CU quarterback room to know Shrout will be available.A 6-foot-3, 215-pound sophomore, Shrout has three seasons to play at CU. At Tennessee, he eight played in eight games, including one start, completing 37-of-69 passes for 494 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. "He's been very good," Langsdorf said. "We just ran a two-minute drill just now and he had really good command of the huddle, the signals, getting guys lined up decision making. He led us on a touchdown drive. "F or a guy that's not been here very long, I'm very pleased. He's a really smart quarterback, and that's helping him. He's put in some time here in the short period and he's been very comfortable. You put somebody in a two-minute drill, you get to know a l ittle about what their level of understanding is, and we threw a lot at him right there. He went down the field and made a nice touchdown pass. I feel really good about his progress." - Daily Camera
