Turns out, Grambling’s defense hasn’t been spared from this turbulent offseason, either.
The unit was led by defensive backs coach Sam Washington during its initial spring drills on Monday, as fourth-year coordinator Clifford Yoshida continues on family leave. In quick succession, he lost his wife suddenly and then his mother fell gravely ill since GSU closed [...]
Doctors still haven’t cleared senior Grambling defensive back Kenneth Anio, so he will not participate in Monday afternoon’s opening spring drills.
Anio said today that he doesn’t expect to get the go-ahead until midway through these sessions, though that decision could come later. If so, Anio expects the GSU staff to hold him out until the [...]
Grambling convenes for spring practice sessions on Monday afternoon with much of its defense intact.
“I’m ready to see what we’ve got,” said reigning Southwestern Athletic Conference defensive player of the year Christian Anthony. “I can hardly wait to get back on the field.”
Good thing. GSU’s work-in-progress offense promises to be a stark contrast.
Senior quarterback Greg [...]
Texas District 4A-21 offensive MVP Reginald Perry, a shifty 5-6, 165-pound tailback from Houston-Yates, has signed with Grambling. The one-star prospect rushed for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns last season, and will play as part of the Space City Classic prep All-Star Game this weekend at Houston’s Delmar Stadium.
Yet, perhaps owing to his size, he [...]
Grambling baseball picked up wins No. 1 and 2 over the weekend, besting Texas-based NAIA Jarvis Christian by identical scores of 14-1 in the doubleheader home-weekend opener for first-year Tigers coach James Cooper.
More importantly, the squad might be finding a new leader in Eric Zagone, who took the mound for the nightcap on Saturday. He [...]
Keith Wagner, who served most recently in a brief stint as running backs coach at Winston-Salem, is set to join the staff at Grambling — though his new role remains unclear.
Coaches and administrators at Grambling have made no official hiring announcement since the offseason exits of James Spady and Jay Davis, former offensive coordinator and [...]
Grambling is homeward bound, finally.
The Tigers (0-7) make their belated weekend debut in Grambling against Jarvis Christian on Saturday, having played more baseball games than all but two Southwestern Athletic Conference foes — Texas Southern and Alabama A&M — and just one in the friendly confines. That was back on Feb. 23, a rainy Tuesday [...]
When we last saw Grambling defensive back Nigel Copeland, he was shutting down Southern’s celebrated receiver Jaumorris Stewart — who finished the season-closing Bayou Classic with just three catches.
Stewart came into the game leading the Southwestern Athletic Conference in receptions, yards and touchdowns.
“My last game was in the New Orleans Superdome,” Copeland said. “I [...]
Grambling has added Gainesville (Fla.) running back Walter Holsey, who rushed for 945 yards and eight touchdowns on 126 carries as a senior, to its 2010 signing class.
The zippy Hosley (5-9, 180; 4.38 in the 40-yard dash) expressed interest in UCF, Iowa State, Auburn, and Stanford. A two-sport track star, Holsey was open during the [...]
Neither team has won a game, so there is something on the line in this non-conference series between Grambling and Centenary.
Last year, the two north Louisiana baseball teams split, with Grambling claiming victory in Shreveport and the Gents evening the series on the return trip.
So, there’s a mutual respect, too.
“They are going to be well [...]
