Tuskegee star passes QB test

Dameyune Craig played football in the Southeastern Conference, spent four years as a backup in the NFL and is now coaching on the college level. During that time, few players have impressed him more than Tuskegee University quarterback Jacary Atkinson.

"The guy is one of the smartest players I've ever been around, bar none," said Craig, who coached Atkinson through last season as a member of the Golden Tigers' staff and is now on Joey Jones' staff at South Alabama.

"You tell Jacary something one time and he's got it. He's a once-in-a-lifetime guy."

Anthony transfers to Tuskegee University

Former Bastrop High (La.) cornerback Rodney Anthony will play football and run track for Tuskegee (Ala.) University next year. Anthony had a fine season as a redshirt freshman at Southern Arkansas last season, recording 49 tackles, with 4.5 tackles for loss, one sack, one interception, four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.

Anthony transferred to ULM last spring, but did not play football. He signed a letter of intent last week to play for Tuskegee where he will be eligible immediately. "I'm relieved to have a place to play," said Anthony. "Not knowing where I was going to school put me under a lot of stress."
