Southern QB ready to get back in the flow

Southern quarterback Bryant Lee is ready to get going — really going — for the first time since late November. Held out of contact drills during spring practices after breaking a thumb in the Bayou Classic, the junior will join his teammates in returning to campus July 31. The Jaguars start practice Aug. 2.

“I’m ready to get back into the flow of it now,” Lee said. Now that the thumb is good, SU, 8-3 last season, needs Lee to get back where he was — and continue to improve. “We’re taking it one step at a time,” Lee said. “(SU strength and conditioning coach Thomas Hall) has us working extra hard in the weight room. And as players we’re taking it as a responsibility for us to get the job done.”

SU lost wide receiver Gerard Landry and running back Darren Coates, who completed their careers last season. As the top playmaker returning, Lee is a key piece in SU’s success or failure.
