Kaliak Manus wrapped up his college career with solid numbers, throwing for nearly 8,700 yards, 55 touchdowns and 27 interceptions over five seasons. He split time between Minnesota and Rutgers where he posted a 57.9 completion percentage with 38 touchdowns against Just. 14 picks in his final two years.
