With six days down in the lead up to Old Dominion’s opener against Norfolk State in the new Kornblau Field at S.B. Ballard Stadium, we have learned a lot about the 2019 version of the Monarchs, but more is yet to come.
Old Dominion has an open QB competition after Blake LaRussa left to attend seminary school. There are three front runners, former ODU starter and redshirt sophomore Steven Williams, and JUCO transfers Stone Smartt and Messiah deWeaver.
Williams gives the Monarchs experience, as he started the first four games of the 2018 season after starting seven and playing in ten as a freshman in 2017.
