  Redshirt junior Nick Tronti will be FAU's starting quarterback for its season opener against Georgia Southern on Saturday, Owls coach Willie Taggart told reporters Monday morning. Tronti was considered the front-runner for the starting role after the departure of Chris Robison, who was the starter the previous two seasons. The former Indiana quarterback was the backup quarterback last season and beat out redshirt junior Justin Agner, redshirt freshman Javion Posey and true freshman Willie Taggart Jr. in what Taggart called a "good battle" for the starting job. "He has the most experience out of the guys and he's been consistent throughout training camp," Taggart said. "We have four guys we can go out and win with, and I think that's what made it tough because all those guys were making plays throughout training camp."

Taggart said the coaching staff made the decision to name the 2016 Florida Mr. Football recipient the starting quarterback after the team's most recent scrimmage Sunday. "When it came down to it," Taggart added, "we thought Nick with his experience would be the best way for us to start the season." Tronti completed 17 passes on 22 attempts for 180 yards for two touchdowns and one interception in 11 games with the Owls in 2019, and excelled as a dual-threat quarterback, rushing for 239 yards and two touchdowns on 51 attempts. - Sun-Sentinel
