Five Huntsville-area players among Spady's first Alabama A&M recruiting class

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- The James Spady era in Alabama A&M football didn't just land 25 signees today. It also brought them an opportunity for a unique spotlight.

Spady signed five Huntsville area high school players, three from J.O. Johnson High and two from Bob Jones.

Twin brothers Danny and DeVon Johnson, a quarterback and wide receiver, along with Johnson High teammate Kailan Jackson, a defensive end, signed.

Alabama A&M reached out to Bob Jones for running back Jay Rogers and receiver Roderick Rogers.

"We wanted to be aggressive in our yard," Spady said. "We felt like we needed to throw a net around the people that play football in Huntsville. We want them to understand Alabama A&M is open for business."
