University of Toledo head coach Jason Candle named senior Mitch Guadagni the team’s starting quarterback ahead of Saturday’s season opener at Kentucky.
Guadagni was in a battle for the starting spot that lasted through fall camp with junior Eli Peters, redshirt freshmen Carter Bradley and Cross Wilkinson, and true freshman Dequan Finn.
“Mitch has had a great camp and has had some guys in that room that pushed him,” Candle said. “What you are looking for in a fifth-year guy is to see him take the next step in his preparation and see him take the next step in the development of what this should look like.
