Although fifth-year senior Nico Flores, who started seven games last season, would appear to be the incumbent, he will have competition. Ninth-year coach Pete Adrian plans to use the early part of camp to select a starter from among Flores and three newcomers: redshirt sophomores Tyler Clark, Malik Stokes and Omari Timmons.
The left-handed Clark, a Chesapeake native, transferred from Old Dominion. Stokes arrived from from Bowling Green, and Timmons from Albright College in Reading, Pa.
Flores passed for 1,067 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior, but turnovers cost him the job midseason before he won it back.
"My plan is not to elongate it," Adrian said, referring to the evaluation period. "I'm going to try to have a quarterback, hopefully, 10, 12 days before the first game so everybody knows, 'Here's the guy.' "

Dylan Shaddix averaged a MEAC-best 40.5 yards per punt and was named first-team all-conference as a junior last season before leaving the program to attend to what Adrian described as a family matter.
