FAMU Coach Joe Taylor quarterbacks are lacking in game experience, but are talented.
There's inexperienced. And then there's inexperienced. Florida A&M's starting quarterback, Eddie Battle, is a redshirt sophomore who saw action in only six games last year. But compared to Tobias Lee, the Rattlers' No.2 quarterback, Battle is a grizzled veteran. Lee is a redshirt freshman from Brundidge, Ala., who has yet to take a snap in a college game. It's not as if he came to FAMU with a lot of experience, either. Lee played quarterback for only one season at Pike County High School.
He was primarily a receiver in high school, and the FAMU staff was considering playing him at tight end until backup quarterback Robert Love left the team. Quarterbacks coach Steven Jerry likes what Lee brings to the field, however. Jerry sees an athletic, 6-foot-4 youngster who throws left-handed and may have the strongest arm on the team. We're working on his presence in the huddle," Jerry said.
