Mark down Connor Wood as the leader in the clubhouse for the Colorado starting quarterback job. With the news that last year's backup, Nick Hirschman, will have foot surgery and is doubtful for spring drills, Wood will get plenty of reps and the opportunity to win the job.
Wood is a transfer from Texas and is a former four-star recruit who was rated as the third-best pro-style quarterback in the nation in the 2010 recruiting cycle by rivals.com.
