Alabama A&M football: Goldsby's year has taken off
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Bobby Goldsby knows all about Alabama A&M football coach Anthony Jones and his penchant for utilizing the tight end. After all, Jones played the position in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins.
However, Goldsby, who starts at tight end for the Bulldogs, hadn't been utilized that much in his first three seasons in an A&M uniform. Entering this season, the 6-foot-4, 229-pound redshirt senior from Leominster, Mass., had managed just eight catches for 90 yards. Even worse, Goldsby had failed to score a touchdown.
"It's been frustrating," Goldsby said.
Not anymore. Goldsby, who came to A&M as an invited walk-on and later earned a scholarship, is in the midst of a career year three games into his final season.
He has eight catches - equaling his total from his first three years - for 111 yards and two touchdowns and is coming off of the best game of his career after hauling in five catches for 74 yards and two touchdowns in A&M's 42-30 victory over Prairie View last Saturday night at Louis Crews Stadium.
