It's been said that the quarterback position is the most important on a football team. He's the general of the offense and usually the leader and most recognizable person on a team's roster. The USF Bulls have a quarterback. In fact, they've got a couple. Sophomore Matt Floyd and Senior Bobby Eveld are both vying for the starting position this summer and according to Head Coach Willie Taggart, Eveld is "leading the pack." If Saturday's spring game is any indication, he's absolutely right as Floyd fumbled four snaps, losing three of them to the defense.
But even more competition could be right around the corner for both Eveld and Floyd. Stiff competition, at that. The Florida State Seminoles announced Wednesday that junior quarterback Clint Trickett is graduating and transferring this summer and the USF Bulls are on his radar. According to the Times Greg Auman, Trickett has the Bulls high on his list to finish his final two years of college.
Trickett is no stranger to new coach Taggart, as he was recruited by Stanford while Taggart was an assistant with the program.
Despite having limited college experience, Trickett has worked behind Minnesota Vikings QB Christian Ponder as well as E.J. Manuel who is expected to be a high draft pick in this year's NFL Draft on April 25.
