Balling with future NFL running back Zach Zenner. Rooming with current South Dakota State tight ends coach Vince Benedetto. Getting chewed out by Brandon Valley coaching legends.

These are stories that can only be told by Austin Sumner, a gun-slinging quarterback who smashed passing records and elevated SDSU from up-and-comers to uppercrusters.

No Mount Rushmore of SDSU quarterbacks is complete without Sumner, the son of two Augustana athletes, whose growth spurt before his freshman year of high school supercharged him into a super talent for nearly a decade.

Dive into the huddle as Sumner screams play calls over the deafening thunder of the Fargodome and Nebraska's Sea of Red.

Sit next to him in the locker room to witness Zenner's unusual if not amazing, pregame ritual. Sit next to him in the car, in the moment he realizes he wanted to be a Jackrabbit.

The SDSU quarterback legend grew up in Brandon, which would re-emerge as a state football powerhouse during his time with late, great coach Chad Garrow.

Balling with future NFL running back Zach Zenner. Rooming with current South Dakota State tight ends coach Vince Benedetto. Getting chewed out by Brandon Valley coaching legends.

These are stories that can only be told by Austin Sumner, a gun-slinging quarterback who smashed passing records and elevated football programs at both BVHS and SDSU from up-and-comers to uppercrusters.

No Mount Rushmore of SDSU or BVHS quarterbacks is complete without Sumner, the son of two Augustana athletes, whose growth spurt before his freshman year of high school supercharged him into a super talent for nearly a decade.

Dive into the huddle as Sumner screams play calls over the deafening thunder of the Fargodome and Nebraska's Sea of Red. Walk with him to the sideline for a nose-to-nose tongue lashing from BV football coach Chad Garrow. Walk with him to the locker room for an earful from infuriated BV basketball coach Brent Deckert.

Sit next to him in the locker room to witness Zenner's unusual if not amazing, pregame ritual. Sit next to him in the car, in the moment he realizes he wanted to be a Jackrabbit.

Sumner takes you to all those places in an 85-minute stroll down memory lane with Happy Hour host John Gaskins in the Gateway Lounge. But first, he'll take you to wear he is now, working alongside, of all people, the man who broke his SDSU records — Taryn Christion.
