Tulane narrows QB competition ahead of season opener against Duke
Summary

Tulane Green Wave head coach Will Hall has trimmed the quarterback competition to four players: Kadin Semonza, Zeon Chriss-Gremillion, Dagan Bruno, and Trace Johnson. This decision comes as the team prepares for their season opener against Duke on September 5. Hall announced he will name a starter after the 14th practice, marking a shift from recent seasons where decisions were delayed until the week of the opener. This approach aims to build chemistry between the starting quarterback and receivers well in advance of the first game.
