Key Points:
- Ball State senior quarterback Keldric Luster, a 5-foot-10, 250-pound Texas State transfer, will start against No. 1 Ohio State despite not fitting the typical college QB mold.
- Luster's dual-threat ability was highly productive in high school, where he amassed over 3,000 rushing yards and 49 rushing touchdowns, and was a three-star recruit ranked No. 100 QB in the 2023 class.
- Though lightly used in college so far, Luster has shown improvement and earned the starting role by mastering Ball State's offense through offseason work and spring practice.
- Inspired by undersized quarterbacks like Kyler Murray, Luster embraces a chip-on-the-shoulder mentality and hopes to defy expectations at the collegiate level.
- Ball State coach Mike Uremovich praised Luster's development, and the QB's performance this season will be key to the team's success in Mid-American Conference play.
