Southern making headway with football recruits

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  -- The Southern football team has reaped the benefits of what a productive signing class can provide for a football program.

The Jaguars have received major contributions from true freshman wide receiver Randall Menard, who has 315 yards and four touchdowns this season; running back Kylum Favorite, who is third on the team with 145 rushing yards; and Blake Monroe, who started the first three games of the season at safety.

Additionally, Southern brought in former LSU commitment Chuck Baker and signed Southern Lab standout quarterback Deonte Shorts — players who are both redshirting this season.

Now, the Jaguars coaching staff is hot on the recruiting trail again. Southern has landed two prospects so far for the 2014 class: quarterback Cordelral Cook of Stone Mountain High School in Stone Mountain, Ga., and defensive back Bryan Anderson of Edna Karr High.

Cook, a 6-foot-1 dual-threat prospect, is a three-star prosepct, according to ESPN. He has completed 108 of 185 passes for 1,711 yards and 16 touchdowns this season. Cook has also rushed for 551 yards.
