Ertz likely starting; Jones back at RB
Quarterback Jesse Ertz hands the ball off during a game last season at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The sophomore was in the running with Joe Hubener, Alex Delton and Jonathan Banks for the starting job this fall.Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder wasn’t ready to name his starting quarterback on Monday — making everyone wait until Tuesday afternoon — but all signs point to it being Jesse Ertz.
The sophomore took the bulk of the snaps during the Wildcats’ recent Fan Appreciation Day practice, with Joe Hubener and Alex Delton working mostly with the No. 2 offense. Junior college transfer Jonathan Banks, who only arrived in July, is likely behind both Hubener and Delton.
