With Chase Brice now at Duke after transferring from Clemson following the 2019 season, the Tigers will enter the 2020 season with no college proven backup quarterback but two very talented options.
One of those is redshirt freshman Taisun Phommachanh, who competed with true freshman D.J. Uiagalelei this spring to replace Brice as the No. 2 quarterback behind Trevor Lawrence, and will continue to battle it out with Uiagalelei in fall camp.
When he went through spring practice as a newcomer last year, Phommachanh was overwhelmed and needed time to adjust to the speed of the college game, which was moving fast for him at the time.
