UCF coach Gus Malzahn has named John Rhys Plumlee the team’s starting quarterback, Malzahn announced on social media Sunday afternoon.
Plumlee beat out sophomore Mikey Keene and true freshman Thomas Castellanos to earn the job.
“All the way back to spring, I’ve watched every scrimmage — the ones that were live and the other ones that weren’t — just trying to put [together] all of the information to make the best decision,” Malzahn said Saturday before the announcement.
