Fresno State Names Zack Greenlee Starting Quarterback

–2015 Campus Insiders Fresno State Preview

Even with former West Virginia transfer Ford Childress available, and with other options getting a shot, Fresno State tabbed sophomore Zack Greenlee for the starting quarterback job on September 5th when the season starts against Abilene Christian.

The 6-1, 200-pound Greenlee has more time in the system than any of the others fighting for the gig, and he has the talent to be the one to take over as the main man for the offense for the next three years. A tremendous recruit for the program, he was an Elite 11 camper with tremendous speed to go along with his live arm.

Now he has to produce, though, rushing 12 times for 45 yards in his limited opportunities while being up and down as a passer – he completed just 7-of-18 passes for 49 yards in the Rice debacle. There’s too much talent and too much upside not to be a force.
