Cowboys May Sign 23-TD Quarterback After Extended Tryout
There is another quarterback that is catching the eyes of the Dallas Cowboys in former Northwest Missouri State signal-caller Mike Hohensee Jr. The Cowboys needed a quarterback for rookie minicamp given the team did not draft or sign a player at the position. Dallas brought in Hohensee on a tryout basis and the rookie is already impressing.
“One player, former NW Missouri State QB Mike Hohensee, is at Cowboys rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, giving team an arm for its on-field work,” The Dallas Morning News’ Michael Gehlken detailed in a May 10, 2024 message on X. “Hohensee and second-round DE Marshawn Kneeland are the only unsigned players here.”
Hohensee has already caught the attention of the Cowboys coaching staff. The undrafted quarterback could present the front office with a dilemma as the team already has Dak Prescott, Cooper Rush and Trey Lance under contract for this season.
There is already plenty of interest in the position as Prescott is going into the final season of his current deal. Head coach Mike McCarthy gushed about the first impression Hohensee is making during minicamp.
“I do not recall a young quarterback coming in here on a tryout and commanding the huddle,” McCarthy explained during a May 10 press conference. “And the quality of just the reps of getting in and out of the huddle and the understanding being this high.”
