With the way Greg Schiano does business, do not expect a quarterback to be named anytime soon.

When the conversations are had, Gavin Wimsatt and Evan Simon are at the forefront. It is becoming harder and harder to ignore first-year quarterback Ajani Sheppard.

Originally committed to Old Dominion, Sheppard flipped his commitment to the Scarlet Knights and is turning heads with his athletic ability and physical tools. This is not to say that Sheppard will win the job but his work during the spring will keep him in the mix.

“He’s really improving by leaps and bounds,” head coach Greg Schiano said.
