While we wait to see who gets the remaing four scholarships for 2011 (could be late signee, FBS transfer or given to a walk on), I'll preview an opponent each Tuesday.
Today, we take a look at our home opener vs. Clark Atlanta University.
When: September 1st or 2nd (dependent on Falcons schedule/Dome conflict resolution)
CAU in 2010: 4-6
Spring Report: Took the field with 43 players back in March/April and concluded their spring with a scrimmage. It's still unknown who their starting QB will be as RS Junior T.J. Smith and Junior Kyle Lacey were not impressive in 2010. Clark as a team only averaged 17.5 points per game last season. Clark's defense returns 19 seniors and as many as 9 starters and will be the strength of their team.
Recruits to Watch:
RB Darrin McPherson - 5'9, 174lbs. Lightning fast running back should start from the moment he steps on campus. The kind of recruit that you don't find often at a D2 school.
QB Bryan Mann - 6'2, 210lbs. JUCO Transfer from Arizona Western. Signed with Florida International out of Glades Central HS but did not qualify. Lefty QB and has continued to improve his body. Long wind up. Not very mobile (reportedly ran a high 4.9/5.0 40 yard dash in HS) but will challenge for playing time.
OT Derryl Rozier - 6'3, 320lbs. Notable because he was mega recruit Isiah Crowell's LT on the Carver-Columbus squad that went to the state semifinals.
Quotes from the Head Coach:
“It was a good opportunity to see a lot of different looks offensively and defensively,” said second year head coach Darryl McNeill. We have some kinks to work out on offense, and we are still young up front.”For more on Clark Atlanta athletics, visit the CAU football page.
