Grant Gunnell - Fully healthy for spring ball Gunnell (lower body) has been fully cleared ahead of spring practices and is set to compete with Seth Henigan for the starting job at quarterback heading into the fall, Evan Barnes... Impact Gunnell joined the Memphis program last offseason as a transfer from Arizona and was viewed as the early favorite to replace the departed Brady White as the team's top signal-caller in 2021, but he never gained clearance to play after suffering a lower-body injury in September that ultimately required season-ending surgery. Though he's back to 100 percent, Gunnell likely heads into the spring as the No. 2 option under center after Henigan performed relatively well (59.8 percent completion rate, 8.5 yards per attempt, 25:8 TD:INT) over 11 starts as a freshman.
