Preston Brown realizes he is being chased by more than defenders at Tennessee State's practices. New Coach Rod Reed said the Tigers came into preseason camp with four running backs other than Brown capable of starting and now a freshman is threatening to get into that mix."I never imagined we would have this kind of depth," said Brown, a senior and former Antioch star who was the team's running back last season with 474 yards on 128 carries and four touchdowns. "They stay on me and are making sure I work hard. If I stop one of them can do the same thing I do."
TSU ran the ball 64.5 percent of the time last year, and Reed said the offense would lean even more heavily on the run this season. Behind Brown is senior Terrence Wright, junior Dante' Thomas and sophomores Ryan Berry and Trabis Ward. Freshman Jeremy Coffey from Brentwood has turned heads in camp and Reed said he also could figure into the rotation.
