GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Furman's football team's annual Purple-White scrimmage in Paladin Stadium produced a bit for both the Paladin offense and defense under a sunny Carolina sky on Saturday.

With over 190 high school junior prospects among several hundred fans in attendance, the scrimmage showcased many of the program's 91 players.

Offensively five quarterbacks registered action as the Paladins look to replace Southern Conference Player of the Year signal caller Tyler Huff.

Drawing the scrimmage's first series was redshirt sophomore Carson Jones, who completed 5-of-10 passes for 45 yards and an interception.

Following Jones was redshirt freshman Nehuel Garcia, who connected on 5-of-12 attempts for 34 yards.

True freshman signal caller Trey Hedden, a January addition, hit on 7-of-16 passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns but was picked off twice.  His scoring tosses covered 31 yards to 2023 SoCon All-Freshman Team wide receiver Colton Hinton and 27 yards to redshirt freshman wideout Walker Wood.

Luke Hedrick completed 4-for-7 attempts for 55 yards and a touchdown — the score covering 30 yards to redshirt freshman wide receiver John Holbrook.

Gram Smithson had two receptions for 71 yards, including a long of 50 yards early in the scrimmage, and Hinton had three catches for 49 yards. Holbrook totaled three grabs for 48 yards, while Riley Clark hauled in four aerials for 20 yards.

Furman's ground game featured the work of five backs, with Tyler Reid's seven rushes for 23 yards leading the way.  Grant Robinson had six carries for 22 yards, including a 16-yard burst for a touchdown on his final carry of the scrimmage.  Redshirt freshman Jalil Garvin-Mingo finished with 10 runs for 21 yards.

The Paladin defense, tasked to replae eight starters off last season's 10-3, Southern Conference championship team, delivered five sacks in Saturday's scrimmage, with the first two going to senior All-SoCon bandit Luke Clark and returning starting nose guard Xavier Stephens, another senior.

Linebacker Quay Rush produced the defense's top play when he collected a batted pass and raced 55 yards for a touchdown.

Safeties AK Burrell and Billy Lewis accounted for the other two interceptions, while redshirt freshman bandit Tanner Schuck was credited with the day's only fumble recovery.

Early in the scrimmage Furman's offense used a 50-yard pass from Hedden to Gram Smithson and a nine-yard completion from Hedden to Hinton to set up second and goal from the one, but the defense denied three rushing attempts at the end zone to force a turnover on downs.

The Paladins return to practice field on Tuesday.
