QB Competition: Keon or Kwadra?

Every spring before football season, competitions are rampant among a plethora of position groups. From quarterback to inside linebacker, every spot is up for grabs — even if you’re a school-record setter.

This year is no different with competitions among the defensive line, receiver and the defensive back spots. But no other competition will have more spotlight than at quarterback.

Gone is Nick Mullens, starter for the majority of his four years in Hattiesburg, setting numerous records as an all-time passer in school history. Behind him sat two men, junior Kwadra Griggs and sophomore Keon Howard.
