QB DEPTH IS PRICELESS While MSU’ senior Carlton Jackson was pushed by Donovan Dickerson in the preseason competition for the starting QB role, an under-appreciated bonus is the value of having three other young quarterbacks waiting in the wings. The QBs are: Jerrald Robinson (6-3/215/Quartz Hill HS); Jahmeal Quarles-Belt (6-3/205/Fork Union Military Academy); and Delonte “Smoke” Williams (6-0/180/Friendship Edison HS). Senior LB George Howard (#55) leads the MEAC with 107 tackles.
