ULM quarterback room shows growth with unnamed starter | KTVE

Monroe, Louisiana ((KTVE/KARD) — The University of Louisiana-Monroe football team has undergone a roster overhaul in recent months, with numerous additions and deletions that will impact the upcoming season. The most important position on the field, quarterback, has also been a big elephant in the room throughout the offseason, with the starting signal-caller yet to be named so far, the growth the players have shown over the summer is more of a focus for University of Louisiana-Monroe head coach Bryant Vincent.

“I think each guy brings a different element. I think adding General Booty and Reese Mooney to an already good team has really stepped it up a notch. The intangibles, the leadership and the determination have really stepped up. They support each other, they’re all big-personality kids, high IQs, and they’re all team guys. They’re great teammates, and I think that’s had a huge impact on where we’re going,” Vincent said.

As for the rest of the team, the intensity is about to ramp up with summer workouts coming to a close and that’s when the boys will need to transform into men to prepare for their week one matchup against Jackson State.

“Our team has taken a ‘now’ and ‘one day at a time’ mentality. We came in and they did a great job of accepting to win every day,” Vincent said. “We have three weeks to really make a big dent in our growth and development before we start camp and that’s where the real fun begins.”
