Redshirt junior Steven Duncan and graduate transfer Ty Storey are the elder statesmen in the quarterback room with redshirt sophomore Davis Shanley and redshirt freshman Kevaris Thomas.
Head coach Tyson Helton has said all summer the staff will choose the starting quarterback about 10 days before the home opener against Central Arkansas on Aug. 29. That timeline gives quarterbacks just over one more week and two scheduled scrimmages to show who deserves the starting job.
Duncan is the most experienced returner for the Hilltoppers, earning five starts and appearing in nine games last year throwing for 1,071 yards.
