JC Evans - Impressing in quarterback battle Evans is currently competing against transfer Camden Coleman for the starting quarterback job and has been standing out, per Shane Mettlen of the Harrisonburg Daily News-Record.

Impact Head coach Billy Napier praised both quarterbacks, highlighting how they are standing out in fall camp. Evans has been with James Madison for two seasons and is vying to take over as the lead signal-caller, while Camden Coleman brings starting experience from his time at Richmond. The quarterback has a better grasp of the Dukes' offense which could be an advantage, but for now the two remain locked in a neck-and-neck battle for the starting job.
