No starter named; What Fobbs needs to see from GSU QBs Hickbottom, Clark in opener
GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- Let the fully live, game tryouts begin.
As Broderick Fobbs has done during in his five seasons as Grambling State’s head coach and his days as an offensive coordinator before at McNeese State when faced with a new starter at the quarterback position, throw two guys into the fire and see who emerges.
Ushering in a new era at the position after the departure of two-time SWAC Offensive Player of the Year DeVante Kincade, Fobbs isn’t about to rush things now. The Tigers opened fall camp with three guys vying for the audition in the season opener at UL Lafayette Saturday. Since, Fobbs has settled on the two who will have the chance to prove themselves in a pair of redshirt freshmen, Geremy Hickbottom and Aldon Clark.
Hickbottom has the lone collegiate start between the two quarterbacks, stepping in for Kincade in the Chicago Classic last year versus Clark Atlanta, but was pulled after three offensive series. Clark, who signed with Arkansas State out of Edna Karr in 2016, transferred into Grambling this summer.
