Head coach Willie Taggart announced during his Monday presser that redshirt junior quarterback Nick Tronti will be the starter on Saturday against Georgia Southern.
“When it came down to it, we thought Nick with his experience would be the best way for us to start the season,” Taggart said.
Tronti beat out fellow quarterbacks Javion Posey, Justin Agner, and Willie Taggart Jr. for the starting job.
“He has the most experience out of the guys, and has been the most consistent throughout training camp,” Taggart said. “It has been a battle and I will say we got four guys I think we can go out and win with.
