QB picturing clearing
Entering spring practice, the buzz about the Gophers’ quarterback situation focused on sophomore Vic Viramontes, the transfer from Riverside (Calif.) City College who was the top-ranked junior college dual-threat quarterback in the recruiting Class of 2019.
Leaving spring practice, that buzz is about Tanner Morgan and Zack Annexstad, who stood out in the spring game.
Morgan, a redshirt freshman, completed 18 of 28 passes for 272 yards and two TDs for the Maroon team in a 24-20 loss to the Gold squad. He was sharp in the two-minute drill, going 4-for-4 for 79 yards in an 84-yard TD march in the final 1:21 of the first half and driving his team 56 yards into scoring position in the final 58 seconds of the fourth quarter.
Annexstad, a preferred walk-on from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., completed five of seven passes for 79 yards on the winning drive for the Gold. He finished 11-for-18 for 186 yards.
Viramontes went 1-for-3 for 1 yard and rushed six times for 21 yards. He fumbled twice, as did Morgan.
“The ball was on the ground way too much for me,” Fleck said of his QBs.
