Former Benedictine star now in QB race at Savannah State

DeFilippis second on the depth chart

A.J. DeFilippis has been on Savannah State's campus for only one week, but he's already made an impact on the football team. DeFilippis, a freshman and former Benedictine standout, is No. 2 on the quarterback depth chart going into the Tigers' first scrimmage today at 9 a.m.

"Right now, I'd probably call it about a three-man race, with (junior JaCorey) Kilcrease probably at the front, A.J. and (freshman) Kurvin Curry," SSU first-year head coach Robby Wells said. "Those three guys are a little bit ahead right now. I'm not saying it's going to stay that way. The other three guys (Javares Taylor, Daniel Wilson and Malik Allah) are working hard."

Coach Robby Wells first Savannah player signee was the 6-foot-4, 181-pound DeFilippis, and the 24th overall.
