MINNESOTA
The Gophers enter the second year of the P.J. Fleck era without any experienced quarterbacks on the roster.

You read that right. Not one quarterback on Minnesota's roster has thrown a pass as a Div. I quarterback.

Last season, Minnesota rotated signal callers Demry Croft and Connor Rhoda. The two combined to throw for just nine touchdowns to 11 interceptions as the Gophers limped to a 5-7 finish in 2017, including losing their last two games by a combined score of 70-0 to Northwestern and Wisconsin.

This season, the quarterback competition appears to be down to three players – redshirt freshman Tanner Morgan, true freshman Zack Annexstad and sophomore transfer Vic Viramontes – after Rhoda exhausted eligibility and Croft transferred to Tennessee State. The only player to take a snap at quarterback for Minnesota that is still a Gopher is Seth Green, who moved to tight end during the offseason.

Morgan was a three-star prospect in the 2017 class and redshirted last season. He is considered the early favorite to win the competition, which is expected to carry on through fall camp. Annexstad is a three-star prospect from the 2018 class that enrolled early in January while Viramontes, the No. 1 dual threat JUCO quarterback in this year's cycle according to 247Sports, also enrolled at Minnesota in January.
