Eighteen Quarterback Battles to Watch in Spring Practice
by Chris Johnson, SI.com
NEBRASKA
Contenders: Tristan Gebbia (redshirt freshman); Adrian Martinez (true freshman); Patrick O'Brien (redshirt sophomore)
It took Scott Frost less than two weeks to grab a quarterback with the potential to lead Nebraska to the top of the Big Ten West. Adrian Martinez announced he had received a scholarship offer from the Cornhuskers on the same early-December day that the program made official the open secret that Scott Frost would be its next head coach. Before long, Martinez had decided to rescind his verbal commitment to Tennessee and announce for Nebraska, inserting him into a QB derby with no obvious favorite following Tanner Lee's departure to the NFL. Martinez is set to square off with two unproven options recruited for former head coach Mike Riley's pro-style system, underclassmen Tristan Gebbia and Patrick O'Brien.
If Martinez outduels O'Brien and Gebbia in the spring and fall camp, Frost's QB management at his previous stop suggests he won't hesitate to run Martinez out with the 1s against Akron in Week 1. UCF's McKenzie Milton started 10 games as a true freshman under Frost in 2016.
