Quarterbacks (by Dan Davidson): Senior Zac Thomas returns to Boone to lead the Mountaineer offense as the starting quarterback. Thomas was named the preseason Sun Belt offensive player of the year, and has been named to five preseason award watch lists. The senior has racked up a 23-3 record as a starter and sits at fourth most passing TDs in school history with 49. Backing up Thomas, senior Jacob Huesman and junior Jackson Gibbs provide additional experience to the position group. Huesman has seen action in 14 games across his career, including five last year, while Gibbs appeared in three games last year.
