Bethune-Cookman Wildcats coach Brian JenkinsDAYTONA BEACH, FL -- One would think a football team transitioning from a triple-option offense to a more conventional pro-style attack would experience some unique problems. Finding enough quality receivers for example. But with two Rutgers transfers recently joining the mix, receiver has suddenly become the deepest position at Bethune-Cookman.
"Our No. 1 goal of our coaching staff was to try to make each position more of a competition to get some depth where the guys had to compete and be on their 'A' game every day," B-CU first-year coach Brian Jenkins said. "It just so happened the receiver spot filled up a little bit more or faster with talent than we thought, but it's a good thing to have, and we'll see how they fit into our offensive system."
After the first week of preseason practice, Eddie Poole and Pat Brown are both fitting in well, said Jenkins, who coached them last year when he was the receivers coach at Rutgers. Poole, a 6-foot-3, redshirt sophomore from Belle Glade Glades Central, and Brown, a redshirt senior from Newark, N.J., were not getting much playing time with the Scarlet Knights. They both enjoyed playing for Jenkins last year and decided to follow him to the Sunshine State.
