Southern Mississippi has tabbed Tate Rodemaker as their starter for the 2024 season per Matt Zenits at 247 Sports. A Florida state transfer who played last year post-Jordan Travis injury leads the Golden Eagles in their week one matchup against SEC-foe Kentucky.
This quarterback decision is particularly important for head coach Will Hall to get right as he is 13-24 at Southern Miss since taking over. He is considered to be one of many hot-seat candidates.
Tate Rodemaker is unranked in Campus2Canton’s rankings, and with the projections surrounding the Southern Miss offense, he has limited upside.
