FAMU Rattlers feeling good about replacements at cornerback

Tallahassee, FL - When All-American cornerbacks Curtis Holcomb and Qier Hall completed their eligibility at Florida A&M last season, they left a glaring hole in the secondary.

Rattlers coach Joe Taylor wasn't too concerned, though. After all, he had three qualified replacements, led by Marvin Ross who has the most experience of the trio. While Ross has clearly established himself as a starter, Jerral Stewart and Terry Johnson also are contending for one of the two positions at corner.

The competition isn't over, though, and Ross knows it. "Coming into the starting role, I've got to play hard, use the techniques," he said. "We had Holcomb and Hall and they gave me a lot of help and study. "I took advantage of it because there was no reason to sit back. They were experienced guys. Qier and Curtis gave us a lot of encouragement."
