Kai Horton

ANALYSIS
With redshirt freshman Darian Mensah being named the Week 1 starter, Horton will come off the bench for the season opener. Horton and Ty Thompson were thought to be the likely competitors for the starting job after being named co-starters in the team's official depth chart, but Mensah came on strong and inserted himself into the conversation, also being named a co-starter. All three signal-callers will reportedly see playing time in the season opener, indicating that Horton may still have the opportunity to earn the top job.
