Congratulations Patrick! We all knew you would be named UK's QB again this year!
Mark Stoops was the first coach this season to name a quarterback on August 17th. Drew Barker was in the running, but he said that he is satisfied as number 2 and will be ready to back up Towles whenever necessary.
"It was a good battle. Drew did some very good things," Stoops said, per the Courier-Journal. "Patrick played exceptional [during a scrimmage] on Saturday. Really encouraged with his progress."
Towles was the incumbent starter after throwing for 2,718 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2014.
Keep up with Patrick on:
