LU Head Coach Will Davis on Quirion:
"We felt that Anthony was the best position player at the Texas Juco All-Star Game, he had a phenomenal freshman year at Clarendon and we expect him to come in and be a force in the middle of our order. He is a nice combination of power and speed and most likely profiles as a third baseman, although he can catch and play shortstop as well."
