Where Shaw QB Stallons goes, his Bears follow

JAMES STALLONS

RALEIGH, North Carolina -- As Shaw concluded one of its worse seasons in 2011, coach Darrell Asberry could only wonder, “What if?”

Patrolling the sideline with clipboard was a 6-foot-6, 210-pound quarterback with a strong arm and Big Ten background. James Stallons signed with Wisconsin in 2007 and was part of the program for two years before transferring to Grand Rapids (Mich.) Community College. In 2010, he threw for 2,061 yards and 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions before switching to Shaw. Stallons was supposed to be on the field for the Bears last season, but eligibility issues kept him sidelined.

Asberry never got the chance to see his recruit after leaving for Texas Southern University. Stallons beat out last season’s starting quarterback Quinshon Odom to lead a Bears team intent on returning to its championship ways. Shaw has won four CIAA championships since reinstating football in 2003. It’s those titles that caught Stallons’ attention.
