BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern made it official and named quarterback John Lampley the starter for the season opener on Saturday at TCU, coach Dawson Odums announced.The move comes with little surprise after Odums named Lampley the frontrunner in the three-person race early last week.
The 6-foot-2 sophomore from Georgia will get his first career start against the No. 16 team in the country.
“We have three very good quarterbacks,” Odums said. “John is just slightly above those guys from a consistency standpoint and that’s really what we look for out of that quarterback position.”
After coming into the program as the No. 4 quarterback on the depth chart last season, Lampley quickly rose through the ranks to take a clear hold on the spot this offseason.
He primarily took snaps with the first-team offense this spring and summer whCONile Bubba McDaniel and Ladarius Skelton went with the twos and threes, respectively.
