New quarterback ready for action
By Matt Doyle
Departed Kansas quarterback Chip Hillieary was the only option that Coach Glen Mason had the last time the Jayhawks started the season with a new quarterback.
Kansan sportswriter
"That made me nervous because Chip was the only quarterback we had," Mason said. "He had leverage on me at that time, but now I feel really good about our quarterback situation."
Today, unlike 1990, when Hileliye was the only quarterback, Mason has more talent, depth and competition at that position than at any time since his arrival at Kansas in 1988.
The one thing that the Jayhawks lack at the quarterback position is experience.
Hilleary started for three years and compiled a 16-16-1 record. He finished second on the school's career total offense chart with 5,888 yards and fifth in that category in the Big Eight Conference.
mentor Fred Thomas has the responsibility of replacing last season's All-Big Eight quarterback. Thomas' only significant game experience came against Missouri last year when Hillary left the game in the first quarter with a concussion.
Thomas completed only 4 of 18 passes for 49 yards in the 22-17 loss against the Tigers, but he said that game helped him prepare for this season.
"I didn't do as well as I liked to against Missouri, but I look at it as a valuable experience." Thomas said. "Coach has always encouraged me every day to do my best and be consistent."
Thomas showed the consistency the coaching staff was looking for during spring practice. He finished spring drills by completing 9 of 17 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown in the annual spring game.
Mason has announced that Thomas will be the starting quarterback but said that he will make a change if it is necessary.
"We don't have a quarterback controversy and we're not going to rotate quarterbacks," Mason said. "But If Fred is hurt or not playing well, I'd put Asheki (Preston) in the game."
Preston, listed as the No. 2 quarterback, is noted for his ability to run the football. Preston showed his ability to throw the football in the spring game when he completed 6 of 5 passes for 228 yards and three touchdowns during his stint with the first team offense in the game.
"I can only control what I can do on the field," Preston said.
Junior Rodney Hogan, a transfer from Independence Community College, and junior Van Davis both are listed as the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart.
Brian Schottenheimer, who was the No. 3 quarterback at the conclusion of spring practice, transferred from Kansas to Florida earlier this month.
