Hess is frontrunner for YSU at quarterback

When the 2009 season ended and the Brandon Summers era came to a close, there were two favorites to win YSU’s starting quarterback job in 2010: redshirt freshman Kurt Hess and junior Marc Kanetsky.

Since then, the Penguins have brought in two freshmen and a Division I transfer and switched one of their QBs to safety.

Nothing changed.

It’s still a battle between Hess and Kanetsky.

“If we started tomorrow, Kurt would be our starter right now,” said YSU offensive coordinator Shane Montgomery. “But I told him, even though we’re running him out with the [first team] right now, he’s got guys that are pushing him.”
