East Carolina has named Kurt Benkert as its starting QB . Head Coach Ruffin McNeill made the announcement last evening after practice. Benkert, a 3 star QB from Florida, had initially signed with South Florida but made the switch to ECU his Senior Year.
Benkert will have big shoes to fill as he replaces former ECU QB Shane Carden. Carden and his favorite WR Justin Hardy( Hardy set the NCAA record for the number of receptions last year) were the public faces of Pirates last year. Benkert is a good athlete with a fast throwing release.
*In other ECU news:
Athletic Director Jeff Compher announced that ECU was seen by 12 million viewers last season. Compher credited the large viewership to the tv contract the AAC has with ESPN. Stay tuned.
