It is one day to the start of the 2019 Knoxville Football season. All offseason, the Panthers knew their quarterback would be Kieren Nichols. Nichols got several snaps during the season and lead the team in rushing with 607 yards last year. Coach Eric Kellar tells KRLS Sports Nichols knows he is the guy and there is no competition nor is there as hint of a two quarterback system, so Nichols has taken the leadership mantel right away. The Panthers host Fairfield from Ken Locke Stadium tomorrow night, a game you can hear on 95.3 KNIA starting with coverage at 6:30.
