Collin Schlee, a former UCLA quarterback, has been named the backup quarterback for Virginia Tech after impressing coaches despite a minor injury setback for incumbent Pop Watson. Schlee has a strong collegiate background, having previously played at Kent State and UCLA, where he demonstrated his passing and running abilities. Meanwhile, Myles Burkett, a former Wisconsin quarterback, has been named the starting quarterback for UAlbany as they prepare for their season opener against Long Island University, filling the shoes of last season's standout, Reese Poffenbarger, who transferred to Miami. Burkett's promotion comes after he won the job over senior Trey Lindsey, following his transfer to Albany to lead the team after a limited career at Wisconsin. Both Schlee and Burkett are entering new roles with expectations to maintain or elevate their respective teams' performances this season.
