CEDAR FALLS — Five days into preseason practice Northern Iowa football coach Mark Farley says he has a better understanding of personnel in camp.
Over the next two weeks as the Panthers begin preparations for their 2019 season opener at Iowa State on Aug. 31, Farley and his staff will begin mold that personnel into the team he wants to put on the field.
While Farley has a stronger grasp on his personnel, especially with his five quarterbacks — senior Christian Ellsworth, sophomore Jacob Keller, redshirt freshman Will McElvain and true freshmen Nate Martens and Justin Fomby — he and offensive coordinator Ryan Mahaffey haven’t named a starter, yet.
