As his team prepares to face the No. 1 team in college football on Saturday, former Oakdale quarterback Collin Schlee is the guest this week on The Final Score podcast.

Schlee is now the starting quarterback at Kent State University after a terrific career at Oakdale High School, where he led the Bears to an unbeaten season and the Class 2A state championship in 2018. At noon Saturday, the Golden Flashes will face top-ranked and defending national champion Georgia on ESPN-plus, following matchups with Power 5 teams Washington and Oklahoma earlier in the season.

Schlee chats with host Greg Swatek about his career at Kent thus far and preparing for a high-powered team like Georgia. He talks about learning the ropes as a backup in his first three years in the program prior to taking over the starting job and the value of having two more years of eligibility beyond this one since he was red-shirted and received two extra years from the NCAA due to the pandemic. He also discusses the nuances of his daily life as a Division I quarterback, balancing his football responsibilities with his school work and outside life.

Prior to this discussion, FNP sports writers Alexander Dacy and John Cannon join Greg to talk about high school sports in Frederick County. They discuss Week 3 of the football season and look ahead to Week 4.
