per FSN:
Best position battle: With Leidner firmly atop the depth chart, there should be a good battle for his backup. Including Leidner, Minnesota's quarterback crop is young. The Gophers don't have any signal caller older than a redshirt sophomore, and Leidner is the only one of the five quarterbacks on the roster with playing experience at the Division I level.
Redshirt freshman Chris Streveler should see most of the reps as the second-team quarterback. After learning from Nelson and Leidner during his redshirt year in 2013, Streveler -- who dealt with a thumb injury last year -- was impressive in spring ball as the backup to Leidner. Fellow redshirt freshman Conor Rhoda has drawn compliments from the coaching staff, while true freshman Dimonic Roden-McKinzy is an intriguing prospect. Though he's athletic, he may be a bit too raw to challenge for the No. 3 job in fall camp.
