Alabama A&M faces limited spring with 1 QB


Alabama A&M will be extremely short-handed during spring practices as the defending SWAC East Division champs have just one quarterback participating. Deaunte Mason, who started the last five games of 2009 and led the Bulldogs to the title game, is the only signal-caller available with Jamari Brady sitting because of academics and Kevin Atkins planning to transfer to Winston Salem State. Coach Anthony Jones told The Huntsville Times he hasn't seen Atkins in a month.

"It's going to hamper us a lot," Jones said. "It's going to help (Mason) because he's going to get a lot of reps, but it's going to hurt him because he's not going to get a lot of rest. I'm going to have to control his reps." A&M signed quarterbacks A.J. Clark and Chris Leachman earlier this month, and they will be available in the fall.
