Stanford tabs Kansas transfer Zach Hoppes as starting quarterback ahead of opener
Chris Wallace -- 247Sports Stanford Football Insider
Stanford has officially named redshirt junior Zach Hoppes the starting quarterback of the Cardinal, the widely expected winner of the quarterback battle that took place this past offseason between him and redshirt freshman Alex Rowe.
Hoppes, who transferred in from Kansas this past winter, has thrown only one pass in his college career and was a three-star prospect coming out of high school. Stanford head coach Bubba Mack said that he felt that Hoppes gave the team the best chance to win but that he has complete confidence in both quarterbacks.
Other notables include the running back position with three co-starters in Jamarice Wilder, Trumaine Lasike and returning 1,000-yard rusher Trent Parrish, who is now sporting the No. 4 jersey after wearing No. 24 last year.
Isaiah Lanovoi won the starting linebacker job over Desmond Spann although the younger Spann will likely be a rotational player this season in the similar fashion that Lanovoi was last year behind co -starters Sam Mattingly and Maxwell Richardson.
In the secondary, it's a brand new look with three new starters in safety Ricky Tewyn, cornerback DeAndre Megna and nickel corner Lonnie McAllister and the returning starters in Rukeem Stroud and Jimmie Winston are playing new roles as Stroud moves from NICKEL to one of the outside corner spots and Winston makes the move from corner to safety.
