Rivers threw for 547 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions last season, playing primarily when graduate transfer senior AJ Bush Jr. was injured. Robinson played at the end of games, appearing three times, thus preserving his redshirt status and threw for 11 yards. Taylor also as a redshirt and didn't appear in any games.

First look at Ford

Though his status for the regular season remains up in the air, sophomore Luke Ford is able to practice with the team. The tight end is a transfer from the University of Georgia. Ford will seek a waiver to make him immediately eligible.

Ford was the No. 1-rated recruit in the state of Illinois in the 2018 class and was the No. 3 tight end in the country, according to 247Sports, before committing to Georgia.
