At the end of summer practices, Hayden Moore was named the starting quarterback for the 2016 Cincinnati Bearcats. After he filled in admirably for Gunner Kiel as a freshman, Moore managed to go from understudy to main attraction, even if there was some scuttlebutt that Kiel was the better option.
The former three-star recruit didn’t exactly dominate with his chance as a starter, and an injury and poor play to Moore made the quarterback position a bit of a carousel, with Kiel and Ross Trail making starts and plays as well.
