JSU opens fall drills, looks for QB depth

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Amongst the whistles, coaches’ yells, and other sounds from the first day of camp, Jackson State defensive end Javancy Jones provided some of the most constant noise.

“We fittin’ to get this work,” Jones shouted throughout practice.

“That’s my motto now,” he said. “If you out here, you’re going to hear me (say that) no matter what throughout the season until we get to Atlanta.”

On Dec. 19, the SWAC champion will face the MEAC champion in the inaugural Celebration Bowl in Atlanta. The Tigers have plenty of work to do in order to reach that game, and they clocked their first shift of the season when fall camp kicked off on Friday afternoon.

JSU players donned helmets, jerseys and shorts as they worked on offensive and defensive fundamentals and special teams throughout the nearly two-and-a-half-hour practice session.
