These two quarterbacks are emerging as leading contenders to start at FIU

In a bit of surprise, FIU football coach Butch Davis has told the Miami Herald that fourth-year junior Christian Alexander has “clearly separated” himself from the pack and will enter fall at the top of list in terms of the Panthers’ quarterback position.

But Davis also made it clear that Alexander will have to beat out Bowling Green graduate transfer James Morgan, who enrolled at FIU last month.

It has been a busy offseason at the all-important quarterback position for FIU.

Alex McGough, FIU’s four-year starter, graduated and was drafted in the seventh round by the Seattle Seahawks.
