Depth Chart Overview
Geriner was in a battle with [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] and T.J. Finley for the starting job but the arrival of [autotag]Peyton Thorne[/autotag] seems to have cemented him as the No. 3 quarterback.
His one appearance last season was due to injury and it is unlikely he will play a meaningful role this season. However, he impressed the coaching staff during spring practice with his throwing ability and has a chance to play a major role next season as he continues to develop.
