Grambling State Selects 15 New Tigers for Football

Grambling addressed some key areas

Grambling signed 15 recruits on Wednesday, plugging several holes on its roster — some current, and some that will open up down the road. The signing class included four linebackers, two defensive backs, two offensive lineman, and some potential successors to quarterback Greg Dillon, who will be a senior in the upcoming season. It addressed some key areas of need for fourth-year head coach Rod Broadway. The playmakers that might someday replace Dillon bring the most intrigue. Anthony Carrothers, a 5-foot-8, 175-pound quarterback from Independence High in Charlotte, N.C., has an eye-popping resume. He finished his prep career with 13,000 yards of total offense, 100 passing touchdowns, and 56 rushing touchdowns.

Tigers Close Day One of National Signing Day With 15

Grambling, LA--- Grambling State head football coach Rod Broadway was very pleased with the results at the end of the day on day one of the football national signing period. With 15 freshman and transfers inked, Broadway feels the Tigers have addressed some needed issues. “We went after needs. We didn’t get a lot of numbers but we are happy with what we received”, Broadway said. We didn’t go after a lot just what we needed in spots and so hopefully we have put some pieces of the puzzle together and it will show up down the road.”
