Bio
2000: Practice in the fall and was making great strides, but was forced to non-contact practice in the spring after shoulder surgery on his non-throwing shoulder...has good speed and size...can make plays and has a chance to be a good quarterback.
High School: Played for Glen Mailini at Hialeah High School...completed his senior season 72-144 passing for 902 yards...passed for eight touchdowns and was intercepted just five times...rush for 480 yards on 47 carries (10.2 yards per carry)...named All-Dade County third team...four-sport athletic (football, basketball, tennis and volleyball)...named Tennis District Champion.
Also Considered: Illinois and Minnesota.
Chose FAU: "I chose FAU because of Coach Schnellenberger. He's a great coach and hae has had success every where he has been. He talks about Vinny Testaverde, Jim Kelly and all his quarterbacks. For him to pick me feels pretty good."
Personal: Business/Marketing major...son of Mario and Teresita Fernandez...born November 18, 1981 in Hialeah, FL.
