Furman has potentially four options.
1. Harris Roberts, a redshirt senior and career backup behind Reese Hannon and PJ Blazejowski. In my opinion, Roberts has a better arm than Blazejowski, but he's a big fella (6'4 210) and is not nearly as nimble. He saw the field a good bit this season as Hendrix would often yank Blazejowski as soon as the game was in hand. He ran a wing-t in high school, and while not a scat runner, still has plenty of giddyup.
2. JeMar Lincoln, a redshirt freshman. Lincoln is a whale of an athlete out of a big south Georgia program. He was the 3rd stringer this season, but was in uniform pretty much every game signaling in plays from the sideline. He's a better runner than Roberts, and has a great downfield arm, but has to show the accuracy necessary to run Furman's offense.
3. Hamp Sisson, incoming true freshman out of Birmingham. Easily one of the most polished QBs I've seen Furman recruit in a long time. Comes out of big Mountain Brook program and has a game that looks a lot like Blazejowski.
4. Darren Grainger, incoming true freshman out of Conway, SC. Grainger is the wildcard. He's built like a bigger version of Tyrie Adams (6'4) Extremely athletic, but looks to have come out of a high school program that didn't have a particularly sophisticated passing offense. He has a cannon of an arm, though I am not sure whether he's had to do a lot of finesse type passes. I expect he will be a little behind the curve in terms of the offense, but also has the athletic ability to force his way on the field.
Clay Hendrix has already said he has not preconceived plans for redshirting players. Both Roberts and Lincoln were impressive during spring practice. He looks like he will give Sisson and Grainger the opportunity to see the field as well, though I expect they will be behind the other two.
