Tyler Brosius hasn't played organized baseball since his senior year of high school two years ago but he has an undeniable raw talent, Walters State coach Ken Campbell said.
Brosius, N.C. State's backup quarterback a year ago, transferred to the Tennessee community college to play baseball, Campbell confirmed on Tuesday.
"The sky is the limit for him," Campbell said. "He's real raw because he hasn't played in awhile."

Backup quarterback Tyler Brosius has left N.C. State to pursue a baseball career, his father told the Asheville Citizen-Times.
Brosius, a third-year sophomore, will transfer to Walters State, a community college in Tennessee, to play baseball and then enter the major league draft, according to his dad, Mike Brosius.
Taylor Gentry was close enough to his NFL dream, he could touch it.
When the Kansas City Chiefs opened training camp last Friday, the former N.C. State fullback was intent on earning a spot on their roster and beginning his pro career. By Tuesday, the former walk-on from Leesville Road was back in Raleigh.
Suffering from concussion-related migraines, Gentry was unable to pass his physical and get on the practice field for the Chiefs. His NFL career will have to wait, if it's not over before it started.
Tim Buckley became the first player to transfer from Penn State's football program on Monday.

Clemson, Florida State, North Carolina had four players each on the preseason All-ACC teams announced by the league on Wednesday.
Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins, who caught 82 passes for 1,219 yards as a freshman last season, was named the preseason player of the year.
N.C. State will play North Carolina and Duke at home next season in basketball.
Neither game will be a given once the league expands to 14 teams before the 2013-14 season so it's noteworthy that both the Tar Heels and Blue Devils will visit Raleigh.
Who knows when that will happen again?
New technology from researchers at N.C. State University and ImagineOptix Corporation may make smartphone projectors as common as smartphone cameras.
Electronic skin? Stretchable displays? Research at North Carolina State University might help push stretchable electronics, even displays, from concept to consumer devices.
N.C. State's Dr. Yong Zhu, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and Feng Xu, a Ph.D. student in Zhu’s lab have developed elastic conductors using silver nanowires.
The technology could be seen in applications from an electronic "skin" to improve tactility in robotics, or expand the capabilities of consumer devices with stretchable displays and antennas.
