>Scouting the UGA QBs

>The University of Georgia went into spring practice with 3 QBs fighting it out for the starting job and a 4th QB on the way in the fall. At a minimum the depth at this position looked good for Georgia. Zach Mettenberger was dismissed from the team and now Logan Gray is contemplating a transfer and it’s left the Bulldog faithful in a quandary. Georgia is one decision away from being left with two scholarship QBs this fall and both of them being freshmen. Georgia is one transfer and one injury away from playing in the SEC with a true freshman who did not enroll early and is one more injury away from playing with a walk-on or a defensive back at QB. With that in mind I thought I would dig into finding out more information about who could (worst case scenario included…well not really that would include Bacarri Rambo or Branden Smith) see some playing time at QB for Georgia this year. There is a lot of information out there on Hutson Mason. But not that much information on Greg Bingham and Parker Welch.
