Blake Barnett will soon get a second chance to be a starting quarterback.

AL.com has confirmed that the former Alabama quarterback has been named the starting QB at South Florida, as first reported by Spectrum Sports 360.

Barnett, who transferred to South Florida in May after spending last season at Arizona State, threw two touchdown passes during the team's scrimmage last weekend.

"I think I've been picking (the offense) up pretty quick," Barnett told reporters last weekend. "Everyone's had a fair shot. Everyone's had equal reps. We're just all trying to apply ourselves and do as best we can to make this team productive."

It's been two years since the former five-star recruit left Alabama.

Barnett, the Crimson Tide's opening game starter in 2016, was the backup at Arizona State last season but will now get this second opportunity to be a starter.

South Florida, which finished last year 10-2, opens its season against Elon next Saturday.
