Kpreps comment: Eikenbary has been a winner at Piper. He’s quarterbacked the Pirates to deep playoff runs in each of the past two seasons. Eikenbary has a strong ability to throw on the run and keep plays alive with his legs. His dual-threat capabilities will allow him to fit in well with the Gorillas multiple-choice pistol offense.
