LAFAYETTE – Again, heading into spring, there is a quarterback competition brewing for Louisiana-Lafayette.
The difference this year is the players involved.
Coach Mark Hudspeth said Thursday that rising senior Jalen Nixon will officially be moved to running back this season. That, combined with the imminent transfer of Brooks Haack, opened the door for sophomore Jordan Davis and redshirt freshman Chris Weaver to compete for the starting job.
This news might come as a shock to those who watched Davis perform well in about five quarters of work at the end of the regular season, but Hudspeth doesn’t want to hand the job to anybody on a platter.
