Jay Norvell names David Cornwell the Pack's starting QB – for now

LAS VEGAS – When Wolf Pack begins fall camp Monday, David Cornwell will be the team’s starting quarterback, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the Alabama transfer is a lock to start the season opener at Northwestern.

Nevada coach Jay Norvell said during this week’s Mountain West Media Summit that Cornwell has the job for now but the battle isn’t ultimately over as Ty Gangi, who started the Wolf Pack’s final four games last season, is still fighting for the position. Both players are juniors.

“David’s the starting quarterback right now and he’ll have to compete and earn that spot throughout training camp and if there’s reason for him not to be (the starting quarterback) we’ll address,” Norvell said of the quarterback depth chart.
