DeKALB — Football Head Coach Thomas Hammock has decided not to name a starting quarterback, opening up competition among contenders.
“I don’t think I’ll name a [starting] quarterback,” Hammock said in an NIU Athletics news release Thursday. “I think we’ll just continue to practice and get ready to play.”
The competition has reigned through summer camp and will continue up to and beyond, the Huskies season opener Aug. 31 against Illinois State University.
Redshirt junior quarterback Marcus Childers returns after posting 2,175 yards passing with 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2018.
