What position is Jacob playing if it's not QB? What were his parents like? I've got a few ideas.

1. You announce that you are going to consider several options at QB. You give Jacob the majority of the reps, but give a real amount of reps to 1 or 2 other players. When Nathaniel/Noah come back they get in that rotation, and then can earn the position.

2. You give the reps to Jacob and are just honest with him. You explain that you think he might have the tools to be QB on the team, but so might Nathaniel/Noah. So when they get back you're going to evaluate who is the best fit.

3. You tell Jacob that a great situation has happened. He's going to be your backup QB, but because of the brothers being at camp is going to get a great opportunity to learn the position, so if he needs to play he'll know exactly what to do, before learning his other position of X.

JiMG has a good point about the fact that you don't know how much practice time you're going to get with the brothers. What is one of them gets injured? Also consider this: in your offense the QB isn't nearly as important as several other positions. Why tie your best player there, when RB/FB is more important? Give Jacob the recognition of that, while others really get to shine.
