"I'm not an option quarterback," said Powlus, who completed 18 of 29 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown.

He was our quarterback, an option quarterback, and we came within two inches of winning a state championship.

I was an option quarterback for two years and I couldn't run.

He is a speedy option quarterback who zigzagged into the end zone 17 times this season.

Frazier consistently showed the touch, judgment, precision and strength that were being developed when he was a young option quarterback.

"That shows people I'm not just an option quarterback," Frazier said.

But, true to his formation, he will remain an option quarterback who would rather hand off or run than pass.

The Cowboys believed him to be a project player since he was mostly an option quarterback in college.

"All we knew was that he'd be an option quarterback and we'd have to pressure him."

He wasn't interested in playing defensive back, or becoming an option quarterback who mostly runs.
