Transfer seeks new start at Tennessee State

Head football coach James Webster, TSU Tigers

JaJuan Spillman’s ability to perform on the field has never been in question. Off the field, well, that’s another story. The wide receiver and kickoff specialist transferred from Louisville to Tennessee State last month, after being kicked off the Cardinals’ squad for a slew of trouble. Now he’s trying to make another go of his college football career as a Tiger. His first impression didn’t disappoint. As soon as the TSU intra-squad game kicked off Saturday, Spillman stole the show.

He returned the opening kickoff nearly 90 yards for a touchdown and scored three more times on long plays before the scrimmage was over. It was a dazzling performance that left fans who watched wanting to know more about the ultra-fast wide receiver and how he ended up at TSU. It’s a story Spillman can’t tell for himself.
