Coming out of spring ball we thought there would be a four-man battle going for the quarterback position. At the time they had Myles Brennan back and healthy following his season-ending injury in 2020. The team also had a pair of sophomore passers in TJ Finley and Max Johnson as well as incoming freshman Garrett Nussmeier.
That changed on May 6, 2021, when Finley decided to enter the transfer portal. Not three weeks later Finley was on his way to back up Bo Nix at Auburn. That left Brennan, Johnson, and Nussmeier as the trio of scholarship quarterbacks on the roster.
Prior to the start of camp, Myles Brennan suffered an injury that would require surgery leaving just two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster until his return. That return never came. The Monday following when Brennan was expected to return, he put his name in the transfer portal.
That leaves just Johnson and Nuss on the team at quarterback, let’s dive into what the team could look like moving forward at the position?
