Sees backup reps Noland completed 2 of 3 passes for 15 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 45-21 win against Tennessee-Martin.

Impact Noland lost the quarterback battle to Marcus Stokes during fall camp and hadn't seen action under center this season until Saturday. A comfortable lead heading into the fourth quarter allowed the backup to finish the game for Memphis. His first drive didn't go as planned after he threw an interception, but he redeemed himself on the next offensive possession by connecting with Joshua Joseph for a three-yard touchdown. He will remain the backup to Stokes, but it was still beneficial for him to see live action after appearing in only one game with South Carolina last year.

Competing to be QB1 Noland is competing against Marcus Stokes to be Memphis' starting quarterback, according to Jonah Dylan of The Commercial Appeal via the G5 Hive podcast.

Impact After the 2025 FBS season, Noland transferred from South Carolina to Memphis, presumably to log a better chance for opportunities in the highest division of college football, albeit for a less well-known program. Compared to Stokes, a Division II veteran, Noland has at least a little experience with the best competition, having logged two completed passes and a rushing attempt against fellow FBS side Coastal Carolina.
