Blackman is a true freshman this season who was ranked as a four-star dual threat QB in the 2017 recruiting cycle. He's a 6-foot-5, 185-pound player who probably could have used a redshirt season to bulk up, but it looks like he will be getting thrown into the fire pretty early. He will have a chance to warm up against Louisiana-Monroe before facing Miami the next week. He beat out junior J.J. Cosentino who saw action in two games last year and fellow freshman Bailey Hockman.
