Rams say they will redshirt QB Carrothers

Winston Salem, NC - Quarterback Anthony Carrothers, a high-profile transfer at Winston-Salem State, will be redshirted this season. Coach Connell Maynor said on Wednesday that Carrothers, who started last season for Grambling State as a freshman before transferring to WSSU, will sit out this season and will have three seasons of eligibility.

"I'm always going to make decisions based on what's good for the team," Maynor said. "I think its best that Anthony redshirts."

The play of backup Jamie DeGeare, a fifth-year senior, helped Maynor make the decision to redshirt Carrothers. DeGeare came on in relief Saturday night in a 67-16 win over Virginia Union and threw two touchdown passes. This is DeGeare's final season; starter Kameron Smith, a redshirt junior, has one more season of eligibility.
