Southern Miss’s quarterback position posed a question for the team after it lost its first and second string options from 2020, but returning redshirt sophomore quarterback Trey Lowe III has since emerged as the team’s next starting quarterback.
Lowe is the most experienced quarterback on the team’s roster, only a year removed from transferring from West Virginia University. He saw action almost immediately in his first season as a Golden Eagle when former quarterback Jack Abraham suffered an injury against Rice.
Lowe struggled in his first two starts after being thrust into the role but showed promise in the season finale.
