Germayne Edmond, who started 10 games in 2007 for the Demons, will not play this year as he continues to rehabilitate from surgery on both shoulders.
With Edmond redshirting this season, the Demons' quarterback position will likely be in the hands of either Drew Branch or Louisiana-Lafayette transfer John Hundley.
Hundley, meanwhile, went through spring practice with the Demons. He took the bulk of the snaps in spring.
"It's pretty much wide open," Stoker said. "John probably got most of the work in the spring. We'll get Drew back and we'll let them fight it out."
I think John Hundley will do great at NW, he has all the tools. Hes going to surprise a lot of people this year. People also underestimate his mobility.
NATCHITOCHES -- John Hundley has been the man at quarterback for Northwestern State through most of the preseason. Now he will be when it counts.
Hundley, a junior transfer from UL, was named the starter for NSU's season opener against Texas A&M-Commerce next Saturday.
"He's looked good," coach Scott Stoker said of Hundley. "He's thrown the ball good. He's shown he can make some plays with his feet."
