Kendall Hinton

This will be the first game back for Kendall Hinton, who was suspended for the first three games of the season for violating team rules.

The junior was expected to take over at quarterback for John Wolford prior to the suspension. However, the play of Sam Hartman has been promising and it is hard to imagine the coaching staff making a change at this position.

The question now becomes how to utilize Hinton, who is a dynamic playmaker and one that should be on the field. The team was having him practice at slot receiver prior to the season and this is still an option.

Next. Demon Deacons need to stick with Sam Hartman. dark

The coaching staff will also likely have some plays for Hinton to line up at quarterback as well. The more creative the Dave Clawson and his staff can get with Hinton, the more explosive this offense as a whole will become.
