George MacIntyre News: Seemingly out of starting QB race

MacIntyre has been working with the third-team offense in fall camp and has seemingly fallen out of the race for the starting job this fall, Pete Nakos of On3 reports.

MacIntyre was among three candidates mentioned alongside Joey Aguilar and Jake Merklinger as potential starters this fall, but the freshman has reportedly been working with the third-team offense, and the race seems to be between Aguilar and Merklinger. Aguilar is a senior, while Merklinger already has a year of college football under his belt, so it's not too surprising that the true freshman will take a back seat for the time being. MacIntyre is still a highly thought of quarterback and could have another shot next fall should Aguilar win the job and work as the starter during 2025.
