WSSU Rams seeking a new quarterback

Coach Kermit Blount of Winston-Salem State spent most of the summer building a large deck at his home in Clemmons. With a young team, he'll also be in a building mode this football season, especially in the early days. Blount is expecting 90 players to report Wednesday for the start of camp, and the first practice is scheduled at 3 p.m. Friday.

"A major concern that I have is the quarterback position, because we have to solidify a guy there," Blount said. "And we think we have enough talent to solidify that spot. We don't have a Monte Purvis right now, but we have the talent to make it work." Blount is also concerned with replacing seven starters on defense, including four of the top five tacklers from last season's 6-5 team.
