AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Size
Good leadership qualities. Throws a soft, catchable ball. Will hit receivers in stride. Throws the crossing route as well as anyone I've seen. Can throw rolling to the right or the left. Will run the football with no fear. Football intelligence and top intangibles are exceptional.


Biography:
Funk will be a three-year starter for the Lions in 2005. He's one of the top quarterback prospects in the Land of Lincoln. Jared was named all-area and all-conference as a junior.

Coaches Comments -- "Jared has absolutely no fear. He throws a very accurate ball. He throws the slant as well as anyone I've seen. He also has a very strong arm; he can make any throw on the field. Jared has the potential to be better than the kid (Brett Basanez) that we sent to Northwestern a few years ago." -- Chris Kirkpatrick.
