VIDEO: Coach Wynn on the Quarterbacks
 
Starter Returning: None
Starter Lost: Sean Schroeder
Lettermen Returning: Taylor Graham, Jeremy Higgins, Ikaika Woolsey
Redshirts: None
Newcomers: Eric Prater, Beau Reilly
 
With the loss of two-year starter Sean Schroeder to graduation, the starting quarterback position is in the hands of redshirt sophomore Ikaika Woolsey, who was named the starter one week into fall camp.
 
In all, the Rainbow Warriors return three quarterbacks with starting experience – Woolsey and senior Jeremy Higgins, who exited the spring bracketed at No. 1 on the depth chart, and senior Taylor Graham. The trio have combined to make six career starts.
 
Woolsey, who started two games in 2013 as a redshirt freshman, took the majority of the No. 1 snaps throughout the spring and finished with a game-high 164 yards on 14-of-24 passing in the annual "Warrior Bowl" intrasquad scrimmage. The Rodeo, Calif., native is also a threat to run as he finished the scrimmage with two rushing touchdowns, including a 60-yard keeper in the fourth quarter.
 
Last season, Woolsey made his first career start against Fresno State, completing 7-of-19 for 56 yards in one half of action. He was also credited with the start the following week against San Jose State, although Schroeder played the majority of the game's snaps.
 
Higgins started one game in 2012, and finished that season completing 29-of-48 for 125 yards and a quarterback rating of 121.8. The Honolulu native only appeared in one game last season but was impressive in the spring, which culminated in a 9-of-18 for 125 yards and one TD performance in the "Warrior Bowl." 
 
Graham, a senior from Wheaton, Ill., started the first three games last season before an arm injury limited his playing time the rest of the year. The Ohio State transfer threw for 462 yards and two touchdowns in 2013 but was limited in the spring after recovering from off-season surgery.
 
Two other quarterbacks are also on the fall roster. Freshman Beau Reilly returned from a two-year church mission after initially committing to play for Colorado State. At Valley Center High School, Reilly threw for 2,798 yards and 23 touchdowns as a two-year starter. Walk-on Eric Prater initially signed with Northern Arizona before joining the U.S. Army Airborne Special Forces.
 
The unit will be coached by first-year assistant Jordan Wynn, who will also assist head coach Norm Chow with the play-calling. Wynn spent last season – his first at UH – as a graduate assistant and oversaw the quarterbacks while assisting with the play-calling. The former University of Utah quarterback oversaw a unit which finished 19^th nationally in passing offense (301.4 yards per game) and averaged 416.0 yards of total offense per game, an improvement of 119 yards from 2012. UH's offense also produced 56 passing plays and nine running plays of 20 yards or more compared to 26 and 13, respectively, one season ago.
