The first practice of fall camp is TODAY!!
Let’s take a look at the QBs, RBs, and WRs.
First up, the QBs.
Joe Sloan is back in 2021 to coach the quarterbacks for the 2nd season.
The QB room: Austin Kendall, Luke Anthony, Aaron Allen, JD Head, and Caleb Holstein
Kendall was added in July as a transfer from West Virginia. The Waxhaw, NC native comes to Ruston with 9 career starts under his belt. How can quickly can get he get comfortable in Tech’s offensive scheme? That will be a big key this fall.
Luke Anthony returns in 2021 after being injured in the TCU game a season ago. Anthony had a minor knee procedure in June which might slow him down some at the start of camp. If Anthony were healthy, I doubt Kendall would have been brought in. Is it possible Anthony redshirts in 2021 and returns in 2022? I would assume everything is on the table. He could always play a pivotal role if it all doesn’t click for Kendall as well.
Aaron Allen is back for year four. What is Aaron Allen? Is he a future starter? Is he a career back-up? I lean towards back-up, but we’ll see if he can continue to progress. There’s no doubt that he’s going to put in the work.
JD Head enters fall camp off a very strong spring practice. We got to see a glimpse of him in the bowl game, he professed even further in the spring and has his sights set on the starter job this fall. He’s a competitor, has a moxie to his game that teammate gravitate towards. I can’t wait to see where he’s at throughout the month of August.
Caleb Holstein got his feet wet in the spring and will look to progress even further in 2021 with his eyes set on competing for the starting job in 2022. I’ve heard rave reviews in his development from a footwork standpoint this off-season.
If Tech is going to compete for a C-USA Championship in 2021, Austin Kendall will need to provide a Jeff Driskel type impact. He’s got the talent, but it will need to all come together for him this fall.
