2011 Preview: Quarterbacks

An intense quarterback competition among three returnees was conducted in spring drills and the determination of a starter will be finalized in fall camp in August.

Two of the candidates, sophomore Eric Kordenbrock (Gibsonia, Pa.) and redshirt sophomore Adam Morgan (Sutherland, Va.) both have starting experience from 2010 and split playing time with graduated senior Cameron Jones. Both players showed ability to command and execute the Pro-Set offense, but consistency remains a key part of their development.

Kordenbrock played in nine games and completed 64 passes for 723 yards and three touchdowns in '10 and threw the longest pass completion of the year - an 80-yard strike to Scott against Stony Brook. Kordenbrock's development was hampered by two different injuries which sidelined him for parts of the season, and a healthy sophomore season would bolster the Keydet quarterback fortunes. Morgan split time at quarterback in 2010 and saw action as both a starter and reserve and played in nine games and lettered. Morgan threw for 370 yards and three touchdowns and tossed two touchdown strikes in his college debut against Lock Haven.

Redshirt sophomore A.J. Augustine (St. Petersburg, Fla.) put up good numbers in the recent spring practice and will vie for playing time and provide depth. He led all quarterbacks in touchdown passes thrown during the three controlled scrimmages and tossed a 51-yard TD strike in the opening workout.
