🏈 Notes on the quarterbacks
🕷️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Quarterback Facts. Last season, Richmond used four quarterbacks in its first four games, and four made their first career starts through the first six games. This year, the quarterback position is a lot more stable. Kyle Wickersham and Camden Coleman have been battling throughout camp for the starting position. Ashten Snelsire is the clear third in the depth chart, with Matthew Layman and Joe McCauley following. 🏈 Here’s more about the quarterbacks.

10 days until kickoff, Spider fans!

The Spiders play their season opener at Virginia on Aug. 31. The team looks to continue its success after going 9-4 overall, 7-1 in conference and Coastal Athletic Association Champions last season. One All-American returning for the 2024 season—Aaron Trusler. Trusler has played 36 games for the Spiders since joining in 2021. He is sixth in program history, with a punting average of 41.5 in the 2023 season.
