WELSH — The Welsh Greyhounds have seen a numerous amount of talented quarterbacks come through their program over the years. This year will be no different as senior quarterback Jonovan Begnaud will again take his place behind center for the second consecutive season. The talented Begnaud racked up 2,109 all-purpose yards a season ago in which the Hounds advanced all the way to the quarterfinals of the Division IV playoffs before falling to the Logansport Tigers in a closely contested match-up. High hopes are again on the minds of Greyhound fans in 2024, and if there is to be another run this coming season, Begnaud will be one of the key cogs in leading the charge. The 6’2, 180-pound speedster can do it with both his legs and his arm.
