The Star Press’ Robby General believes Ball State redshirt junior QB John Paddock has won the starting quarterback job.
General notes that Paddock “has got some wheels and a strong arm” and that the “competition for backup QB appears to be between Colin Blazek and Kiael Kelly.” Paddock has seen limited action during his time at Ball State, completing 24-of-34 career passes for 180 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. Ball State opens its season on September 1st at Tennessee.
