Fort Valley State Wildcats like what they have on offensive line

Fort Valley, GA - Only two starters are back on Fort Valley State’s offensive line. Antonio Wright moved to fullback, and Jared Nelson isn’t on the team. Willie Brezial transferred and Sam Chester has some academics to work on. But Keith DeGrate, who coaches that unit, is a man of calm and confidence.

“We’re going to be a little bit better than last year,” he said. “We didn’t have guys consistently playing at one spot. We were hit and miss a lot last year.”

DeGrate had about a six-man rotation up front last season and figured to have experience and depth this season. Nevertheless, he already sees a unit that has passed last year’s.



Bobby Young and Trevor Shaw are the returning starters, and Christopher Brooks and Quavious Wright have some experience. David Garbo, Rashad Avery, Ryan Riggins and Jonathan Martin are working out at tackle, and Shaw is joined by Brooks and freshman Chartavious Danzy of Washington County at guard. Richard Williams, a Houston County product, returns at tight end after a year away.
