BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern players hadn’t even reported to preseason camp Tuesday when coach Dawson Odums announced the five-way battle for starting quarterback was narrowed from five to three.
With a month to go before the Jaguars' regular-season opener at TCU on Sept. 1, John Lampley and Glendon McDaniel remain front-runners for the job, and Ladarius Skelton is still in the hunt. That leaves transfer DJ White and Kobie Lane as the two left out.
“Coming into fall camp, there’d be no way we could get five guys reps,” Odums said. “We’ve got it narrowed down to about three and we’re going to see how it goes.”
Lampley and McDaniel took the bulk of first-team snaps during spring practice. They were the only two quarterbacks on the roster to have played in a live game for the Jaguars after the departure of Darquez Lee this summer.
Lampley started the spring game, throwing three touchdowns in the process. He is considered a better runner than McDaniel and played more last season, having thrown for 114 yards in seven appearances.
