Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin likely will be banking on a freshman QB in '17

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- For the fifth time in six years, Texas A&M began spring football without a starting quarterback officially named.

Quarterback competitions have been the norm in Aggieland since Kevin Sumlin arrived, with 2013 -- Johnny Manziel's second season on campus -- being the only one that provided an easy answer to what is usually the most important question surrounding the team.

This season, the Aggies return just one quarterback who has taken a collegiate snap: senior Jake Hubenak, backed up Trevor Knight last season and has three career starts to his credit.
