Kolbe assumes ISU quarterback reins
STEVE SMEDLEY, The PantagraphNORMAL — Jake Kolbe’s ascension to the top of the Illinois State depth chart at quarterback became official Thursday when the Redbirds held their first spring practice session at Hancock Stadium.
Yet in Kolbe’s mind, little has changed.
“Since the day I got here I come out to practice and work as hard as I can,” Kolbe said. “Where I am on the depth chart never really effected how I’m going to work and go about my business.”
Kolbe takes over for all-Missouri Valley Football Conference quarterback Tre Roberson, who guided the Redbird offense to two straight FCS playoff appearances.
