SSU football players report to training camp

Savannah State University quarterback Kurvin Curry was not among the 79 football players who reported to preseason training camp Thursday. Curry, a 6-foot-1, 216-pound sophomore last season, was academically ineligible to participate in spring practices this year and last year. The Hart County High School graduate returned to his home in Hartwell after the spring semester.

"We're looking to move forward with A.J. (DeFilippis) as our quarterback," SSU interim head coach Julius Dixon said Thursday night. "I haven't spoken with Kurvin. I know that I would like for him to come back to school and finish what he started." Last Friday, Dixon said he believed Curry would be academically ineligible to play this season. SSU players were instructed to report from 1-5 p.m. Thursday. Dixon said a couple of players with transportation issues called him and were granted permission to arrive today. The Tigers' first practice is Saturday at 8:45 a.m.
