When the 2012 season began, Ezayi Youyoute was the starting quarterback for the Georgia Southern Eagles. On a rainy Saturday last September, Jerick McKinnon emerged as the team’s quarterback, as he entered the game in the second quarter against Samford and led GSU to a 35-16 win. Youyoute, who played in 10 games in 2012 and put up good rushing numbers — 74 carries for 454 yards (6.1 average per carry) and five touchdowns — moved to slotback before fall camp started last week.
