BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU head coach Jeff Brohm announced on Friday that redshirt junior Mike White will start at quarterback for the Hilltoppers when they open the season on Thursday, Sept. 1 against Rice.
White, a native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., along with senior Tyler Ferguson and sophomore Drew Eckels have been in a tight race to replace All-American Brandon Doughty, now with the Miami Dolphins, through spring and fall practices.
Both Eckels and Ferguson will be prepared for action and could see time throughout the course of the season as well.
