The guy who Annexstad beat out at IMG apparerently is not being challenged by anyone at Rutgers this Spring...Rutgers beat guy ranks the Knights 14th in Big Ten QB situation:
14. RUTGERS: Scarlet Knights fans looking for a quarterback competition might be out of luck. It's certainly looking like Artur Sitkowski will be the runaway starter in 2019, and that will give many pause after he tied for the national lead in interceptions as a freshman. There is real uncertainty about whether Boston College transfer Johnny Langan will be eligible this fall - he's still waiting on the NCAA to make its waiver decision - and even if he is able to play, the first half of spring ball suggests Sitkowski is comfortably ahead. The other passers on the roster are freshmen (true and redshirt) with no college experience. Head coach Chris Ash hasn't ruled out adding a graduate transfer, but Rutgers would have a hard time landing one. It doesn't look like there's any turning back with Johnathan Lewis at tight end, either.
he calls Gophers a threat to win the Big Ten West if QB steps up:
12. MINNESOTA: The Golden Gophers have Zach Annexstad and Tanner Morgan both returning with experience; Morgan rates as the favorite after leading Minnesota to a win in its bowl game, but it has been declared an open competition. The key for P.J. Fleck: He needs one of the passers to emerge as the clear guy in 2019. If so, Minnesota can be a dark horse to win the Big Ten West.
