Easton Melancon, a 4 year starter and All-Conference Quarterback at Louisiana College had a stellar career. He is only the 2nd quarterback to throw for 10,000 yards in a career and the 4th quarterback to throw for over 3,000 yards in a single season. His best season came this year when he threw for 3,116 yards and 30 passing touchdowns. Some remember Melanin as the U-19 Quarterback who helped lead Team USA to a gold medal back in the 2014 International Federation of American Football World Championship.
Q: How have you been preparing for the game on Monday?
Easton: I have been preparing for the game by studying the playbook and making sure I have great timing with my receivers
Q: If you were talking with a scout, how would you pitch yourself?
Easton: If I were talking with a scout, I would pitch myself as a dedicated player who only has one goal and that is to win football games; do whatever it takes to win
Q: Why did you decide to play in the Dream Bowl and what do you expect to get out of it?
Easton: I decided to play in the Dream Bowl because I knew I would have the opportunity to show my skills in front of scouts and I expect to get more relationships with great players from around the country who have the same goals that I do. Also, I am able to get the chance to perform in front of scouts from the NFL and CFL.
Q: What is your best memory playing football?
Easton: My best memory from playing football would probably be my freshman year of College at Louisiana College. We were playing Weber University from Florida and I was the back up QB then and I got my opportunity to get in and lead our team to a 2nd half comeback to win the game and earn my spot as the starter and was the starter for every game of my career after that game
